When I first started to seriously paint in the late 1980's, I felt I had been given a new way of speaking to the world and I could potentially say anything and everything. This idea of painting as a language has continued throughout my practice. My visual language has its formal elements- colour,mark, composition with which I hope to create a painterly map of glimpses, edges and sounds- things to keep and things to leave; an elegiac soundtrack of my life. My work takes time, lots of thin layers of acrylic paint, a process that echoes the mutability of memory- hiding,revealing and inventing- luxuriating in sheer physicality of the paint and colour. The paintings have presence and assurance becoming both image and container, both of idea and the act of painting. I like the idea of wandering around, the psycho-geography of half remembered places, I reference urban places,gardens and a nostalgia for lost things- there is always a poetry in lost things. I am influenced by British and American modernist painters of the 50's and 60's and a love of music especially Jazz. I have an endeavour to make paintings that act like music in their ability to create mood and elicit emotions.

Julia’s work explores the physicality of painting, the use of colour to give an illusion of space within the work and the application of mark almost as a ‘beat’ within the pieces. The paintings explore the poetry of lost things. They describe encounters within the world and the impossibility of assimilation or permanence. They are concerned with memory, the fleeting glimpse, traces and journeys not taken and elegiac shifts of balance. The work sometimes alluding to interiors or landscapes but is essentially about colour relationships and improvisations, the process of the painting revealing the image through time. “I am interested in creating paintings which act like soundtracks to a particular time.” The paintings are acrylic paint and crayon on paper worked in many thin layers to achieve the richness of colour. The crisply masked edge ‘contains’ the sometimes-elusive imagery and the addition of crayon drawing adds a broken textural line. Julia has been a practicing artist since 1983. She has exhibited widely in Britain and Europe. She is a member of the Wolverhampton Society of Artists.
