Visual Art – Canberra

Julie was born in 1972, in Florida to an Australian and American and now resides in Australia with her husband, children and fur-children. Having recently completed her Certificate IV in Visual Arts and currently studying a Diploma in Visual Arts at Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT) part time, while working full time as Business Analyst, she hopes to one day escape the cubicle farm. Julie has always dabbled in visual arts, whether it was drawing, textile, printmaking, fabric dying, mixed or photography. She enjoys all of the visual arts and has a love of textile arts and loves combining other visual arts with textile arts. Julie is currently concentrating on felting Alpaca wool and painting. With felting she is exploring form and colour using natural Alpaca with silk chiffon and commercially dyed sheep\'s wool. Julie is exploring portraiture with her painting, particularly with watercolour and inks.
