Hi there!, I'm Julie. I was born in the beautiful city of Chester in Cheshire, a place full of stunning history and surrounded by lush green countryside. I have been fortunate to travel to many varied parts of the world and my art is heavily influenced by the bright and vivid colours of the Caribbean. I returned to Chester and now live there with my husband and elderly cat, Maisy. Every picture is hand-painted and has a rainbow as a symbol of hope and love in the world 🌈
Always optimistic and looking for the joy in life, I hope that my art will bring a smile to you too.

Sustainability and responsibility
Being as responsible as possible, I am doing my best to look after our amazing planet.
All of my cards and prints are printed in the UK to lower my carbon footprint and support the UK economy. All cards supplied to retail outlets are in compostable packaging which is also manufactured in the UK. Cards purchased from me direct to the public have the option of outer packaging or not.
Whenever possible, I reuse packaging when sending prints and originals by post or courier. I recycle as much as I can.
