It takes a profound knowledge of African wildlife to capture the fluidity of movement that Julia achieves in her work. A decade spent living in the bush in Zambia and subsequently Tanzania, has given her a deep and sympathetic understanding of her subjects and imbues her paintings with an intensity that can only exist as a result of such prolonged experience.

As a specialist in both ink and watercolour, Julia's technical capabilities allow her to treat these traditional mediums with a contemporary twist. With her lightness of touch and by keeping her brush dancing Julia maintains the characteristic flowing style that is so essential to her work.

Julia has illustrated for Penguin, written a watercolour book, "How to Capture Movement" and contributed to many others. Now a well known wildlife artist, Julia exhibits widely with her work found in collections worldwide. She has been successfully shortlisted for the David Shepherd 'Artist of The Year' for several years and earlier this year one of the finalists.

Now back in England, Julia runs courses and workshops from her Hampshire studio, as well as leading painting holidays with Art Safari Ltd to Zambia, Spain and the Camargue.
