Born in the UK, Jules background was in Interior Design and it was whilst studying in 1998 Jules began researching Fine Art during an assignment on paint effects, her interest was illuminated and was reignited post study. Predominately self-taught, Jules has experimented extensively with mixed media and worked alongside a revered Artist who became her mentor and was the reason she decided to take her practise more seriously back in 2005. Jules has exhibited widely within Australia and has had solo, group and joint exhibitions since 2005. Jules Art resides in many locations within Australia and internationally.
Artist statement ‘
A painting is never finished, it merely stops at an interesting place’ A painting does not feel like it is mine until the essence of the subject is exposed, the texture tangible with layers revealing a glimpse of what has passed whilst concealing that which enhances the surface. Fragility, spontaneity, line and vibrant colour inform my work, the need to reveal that which cannot be seen is a constant and for this reason process is replaced with gesture and chance. The invisible tension between abstraction and form is my obsession, perfection is found always within the beauty of imperfection and courage is needed to unveil the distinction between the two. Always made with love and inspired by nature in one form or another
