Since then, she exhibited her work in several group shows including Art Catcher, Art from Hear, Doncaster Art Fair and Royal Institute of Watercolour Painters. Julia also became a co-organiser of Leytonstone Arts Trail in 2021. Her work is inspired by Aubrey Beardsley, Lucian Freud, Alice Neel, Paula Rego, Amy Sherald and Kehinde Wiley, just to name a few. Julia embraces mainly water-based mediums such as watercolours, gouache or ink. Her body of work reflects her day-to-day observation as well as her experience and relationships with the people around her. Likewise, Julia explores elements of mental health and normalness in her paintings. Experimentation through colour and composition of the subject are significant aspects of Julia’s work. Julia’s work stands out through her use of vibrant colours and her sense of weight and body form.
