Julie Slatter

Born and raised in West London.
Now resident in Buckinghamshire.
Own camera in hand since the age of 11. Trowel in hand since the age of 4.
Totally feral artist and designer who found herself teaching and guiding others.
Now looking at the detail, the fleeting moment, the transitory nature of nature itself.
25 years ago torn between photography and creating gardens, decided to create beautiful spaces and photograph them. Greatest inspiration being given a slice of Tuscany to work with. Over nearly 10 years planted, nurtured and photographed the results.
Since 2010 working on a far more personal scale, having started a daily diary "views from a sofa" which was first used as therapy and is now envisaged as an installation piece.
2010 Cape Town and the Diamond Coast of Namaqualand for the Spring flowering of the desert
2013/2015 InterAction MK working with young adults creating and nurturing vibrant installations in a place of safety.
2015 capturing and visualizing the work of Capability Brown in the modern era.

Feral ... but mentored by budding cinematographers in the 80s and 90s ... and during the 00s by pure osmosis whilst teaching amongst the staff and students of the then maverick Art and Design Department of Milton Keynes College
