I am an Artist-Poet with an M.A. in Creative Writing & Personal Development (with Merit) from Sussex University. I have a passion for encouraging creative expression, most especially for those who believe it\'s not possible for them. I have worked with children; elder folk; Kosovan refugees; those with no English language; those struggling with mental health issues and others in the community (including a life-changing workshop in the tax office!). For those who insist they can\'t write, I introduce the techniques to be had in \'treated books\'; cut-ups and erasures. There is always a creative way of accessing what needs to be expressed given the right form or tools. I enjoy making multi-media \'junk journals\' that can be used to accompany significant life-lessons.

An interest in the links between positive psychology and visual art led Julia to complete an MSc (with distinction) in positive psychology (MAPP). She has since published and presented her arts for wellbeing research at national and international conferences. In 2021 she will contribute a chapter to the upcoming Jessica Knightly textbook Art Therapy: innovative practice and new perspectives exploring the evolving relationship between art therapy and arts in health.
Over the years, Julia has designed and delivered hundreds of arts for wellbeing workshops for client groups including, women with breast cancer, perinatal wellbeing, school children, young people, adult and young carers, families, the elderly and individuals with moderate to severe mental health challenges, disabilities and special education needs. Both positive psychology and a deep understanding of the multi-layered language of visual imagery play a central role in all of her project designs.
Julia\'s other activities include creative wellbeing and communication workshops for private and public sector teams, large-scale community engagement projects (The Community Portrait, currently archived at the Museum of London, involved over 2,000 participants), experimental and pop-up art exhibitions and curatorial activities.

I am an artist working mainly on themes of health, illness and visualising disease . I am fascinated by the implications of medical imaging and what it means to recognise your body from the inside out. This leads me to explore how people imagine their bodies internally, often at the microscopic level, and how that influences a sense of embodiment and identity.
My work also engages with the visual culture of wellness and illness, injury and disease. I have researched the representation of cancer cells in the public domain, and continue to explore how that impacts our understanding of the disease as part of my artwork, but am currently also investigating other, more neglected conditions that nonetheless have a huge impact on people\'s understanding of their health.
I make primarily sculptural objects, and believe that people engage with physical objects in a completely different way to images, whether analogue or digital, a position borne out by recent neuroscience findings, so I aim to use three-dimensional work to facilitate new and interesting ideas and conversations.
