About Me
The Art Philosopher
Jules is a whimsical artist and storyteller whose work transcends traditional boundaries, blending the visual with the narrative. As a painter and author she has cultivated a unique artistic voice that speaks through both her writing and her visual art. Jules' creations are characterised by an interpretative style that invites viewers and readers to engage with her stories on multiple levels.
In her artwork, Jules often employs a loose and expressive approach, using media such as pencil, line and wash, watercolour, inks, charcoal and mixed media. This technique allows her to convey a sense of spontaneity and imagination, encouraging viewers to explore their own interpretations of the scenes she depicts. Her preference for a free-flowing style reflects her belief in the power of art to evoke personal narratives, where each person becomes a co-creator of the story or budding art philosopher.
Beyond the Canvas
Jules' storytelling prowess shines through her books, short stories, and blog posts. Her literary works are rich with the same whimsy and emotional depth found in her paintings. She offers a background story behind each piece of art, providing context and deeper meaning. These stories often explore themes of wonder, curiosity, and the magic of everyday moments, mirroring the fantastical elements found in her work.
Jules is not just an artist but a conjurer of worlds, using her talents to weave tales that are both seen and read. Her ability to merge these two mediums into a cohesive artistic practice makes her work particularly engaging and accessible. Whether through the delicate lines of a watercolour sketch or the carefully chosen words of a short story, Jules invites her audience into a space where imagination reigns and every detail hints at a larger narrative waiting to be discovered.
In essence, Jules is a storyteller who paints with both brush and pen, crafting a vibrant tapestry of tales that resonate with viewers and readers alike. Her work is an invitation to dream, to wonder, and to find stories in the spaces between the lines.
