Julie Adlard

JULIE ADLARD Biography I have painted for many years and studied Combined Craft Design at South Bank University and Advanced Ceramics and Painting at Kingston College. My inspiration comes from love of nature, landscapes and harbours of the South West of England as well as places from my travels. My work is bright and bold and has a naivety that makes you want to smile. I like to create work that gives an emotional response to a place and the harbour scenes especially create a feeling of nostalgia and homecoming. Having studied ceramics and painting at art college I wanted to use both mediums in my work.I am really interested in surface texture and work in mixed medium so use air drying clay and fabrics to create collage paintings.
