Julie is an award winning artist currently living in Brisbane. She is known for her realistic still life pictures, leaf paintings and landscapes in oil.

She found much inspiration there and developed her love of the natural world, and from that came her desire to protect it.
Julie painted whenever she got the chance despite many obstacles and much discouragement. She was driven to focus on a different career path, which she achieved and Julie worked as a veterinary surgeon for many years. Nature is her major source of inspiration, and some of her favourite artists are Stubbs, Landseer, Munnings and Farquharson. |
