I'm Julia, a Welsh artist with roots in the scenic Swansea Valley. Over the past three decades I've honed my unique artistic style - blending experimentation with traditional techniques.

 

While living in the UK, I juggled a career as a Lab Tech testing beer with my passion for painting. However, after relocating to New Zealand, I began my new life stye as a stay-at-home mother, which granted me the freedom to delve deeper into my art, fostering a period of intense experimentation and growth.

​

I'm drawn to the unconventional and the extraordinary, infusing my work with a distinctive vision that challenges conventional norms. Before embarking on each piece, I immerse myself in research, delving into the intricate details of the subject to capture its essence authentically.

​

Now back in Wales, I'm eager to share my creations with the world. The Great Welsh Dragon proudly graces the halls of Swansea University, a testament to my Welsh heritage and artistic passion.

​

My artistic journey spans 22 years, with each piece telling a unique story. While my earlier work steered clear of political undertones, my latest collection - "Sins/Virtues," reflects the tumultuous times we live in with completion slated for late 2024.

Every artwork I create holds personal significance. From the electrifying energy of David Bowie to the homesickness that inspired the Great Welsh Dragon, each piece reflects a facet of my journey and identity.

​

The Mental Health sculptures stand as a tribute to loved ones battling these afflictions, offering solace and understanding amidst the struggles. Meanwhile, my exploration of religious themes, as seen in "The Book of Revelations," stems from a deep fascination with spirituality and symbolism.

​

From intimate sculptures to monumental pieces like the Great Welsh Dragon towering at 2.8 meters, my artwork spans a diverse range of sizes and themes.
