Hello, and welcome.

​

My name is Julia and I'm a resin and mixed media artist living and creating in the seaside town of St. Ives, Cornwall.

​

My work is inspired by the ever-changing light, textures, and colours of the Cornish coast. I find endless inspiration in the rhythm of the tides, the shifting skies, worn rocks, tangled seaweed, and the way light reflects on the water. Each piece I create is a response to this connection — a conversation between nature, emotion, and material.

​

I studied at the Norwich School of Art, where I first developed a love for materials that carry their own energy and story. That passion has evolved into a practice that blends traditional and experimental techniques — with resin as my primary medium.

​

Each artwork is built up in multiple layers of resin, sometimes over days or weeks. These layers allow me to trap textures, pigments, inks, and even fine details like gold leaf or grains of sand — creating depth and a sense of suspended movement. The process is both intuitive and intentional, echoing the way the sea shapes and reveals over time.

​

By working in this way, I aim to create more than just a visual piece — I want to draw the viewer in, to give the feeling of gazing into tidal pools or watching sunlight refract through water. There’s a quietness in these layers, a stillness, but also a sense of something living beneath the surface.
