Julia Wilson

What first caught my eye with Julia's painting were the colours and shapes within her paintings, the activity they create, the tensions, balance and energy.

She says "The work is a reaction to my surroundings, a reworking of history and memory; things seen, past and present. The starting point for the paintings being a familiar Welsh estuary landscape, and the urban surroundings of my studio in London." And drawn from these visual experiences is an expression of a state of mind and view of the world.

Julia trained at Chelsea College of Art & Design and Wimbledon School of Art, and since graduating in 1993 her work has been exhibited in a variety of fairs and galleries including The Discerning Eye, the Affordable Art Fair and the Beatrice Royal Gallery.

I am delighted to introduce her work in our Summer Show this year.
