From her studio in Devon, Julia creates hand-drawn illustrations using brush and ink and collaborates with licensees worldwide to create sustainable souvenirs and stylish gift ranges sold in flagship museums, popular tourist attractions, blue-chip department stores and destination boutiques around the globe. Julia's map like illustrations captures the character and cultural heritage of a specific location.

The whimsical illustrations communicate a child-like vision and offer a playful and honest interpretation of the world in which we live. A cyclist wearing a hat can be found in all of Julia's "Cityscapes" and this little figure symbolizes Julia: traveling around the world through her art.
