Hi, I'm Julie


Thank you for stopping by

I love variety so I create in oils, acrylics, watercolour and soft pastels and I am inspired by colour and nature and the emotion that invokes such as sitting by a lake watching a setting sun.

My aim is to bring joy and upliftment through my art and my workshops and I like to think of it as 'wellbeing on the wall'.

I want people to feel uplifted when they see my paintings.

I am passionate about helping others to discover their own inner artist so I teach regularly, both in person and online.

Steve's testimonial of

Spring Blue


Immediately I saw ‘Spring Blue’ my heart went in my mouth that it would have sold by it and knew immediately that I had to have it.


Whenever I walk in a bluebell wood my spirit simply soars and the soul is refreshed, they are far and away my favourite flower, simply transforming a wood into a magical place.


I also love impressionist art and simply don’t have the words to describe the beauty that it’s possible to portray.


Mixing those two together how you have done has created pure joy for me and I can lose myself in the beauty of the painting whenever I gaze into it. If I could paint, that is exactly the picture I would create.


Thank you from my heart and I hope to see you painting again soon

How to maximise your returns at live events

Have you ever attended an art or craft fair or even paid a lot of money for a large exhibition, only to come home disappointed at lack of sales. You are not alone!

However, it's not all about sales on the day. With a 30 year career in corporate sales and exhibitions, I have learned how to optimise opportunities at every event. This small, local event generated not just sales but contacts and prospects which eventually turned into valuable leads

Success comes from knowing how to capture and nurture your contacts to turn them into supporters, helpful networks and valued customers.
