Artist Statement

Using resist and immersion dye techniques, Julia creates abstract - and often quite experimental -patterns on the porous anodised layer of aluminium sheet. She then seals and finishes the metal and designs lightweight, elegant, and striking pieces of jewellery. Botanical and floral elements are often included in her work, as well as influences from folk arts. She works from a studio in Bolton, Lancashire, where she also paints landscapes and abstract work in acrylic.
