Julia Everett

‘My paintings are expressive colourful abstract landscapes. I am moved by the sky and sea and am trying to capture the uplifting feelings one can experience from being in a wild and dramatic landscape or watching the sunset into the sea.  I am inspired by the British landscape, particularly the west of England and its coastline. My paintings are concerned with the personal reflective aspects of natural beauty as realised in water, landscape, light and pure colour. Each painting is an emotional response to a sensory experience and an attempt to evoke a fleeting visual reference to something that is essentially ethereal.' 

Julia graduated in Fine Art at Brighton University and has recently successfully exhibited in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton and New York.  Many of her paintings are in private collections and in 2004 one of her paintings was purchased by the Art for Hospitals Commission for display at St Mary's Hospital Paddington, London.  Later that year Julia won first prize in the Originate Competition showcased at Art on the Walls London, and was short listed for the Fusion Competition shown at The Artist's & Illustrators Expo at the Business Design Centre in July 2005 and the International Open Image in July 2006. In 2006 Julia collaborated with Italian artist Massimo Carolina on a painting exhibited in 'Core' a group show at the Union Works on the South Bank.
