Julie Smith

Artist Julie Smith does painting and textiles.

Julie Smith's ‘happy place’ is nature. She feels a sense of peace in walking in the native bush near her home or along the coast. She tries to incorporate these qualities into both her paintings and textiles. The paintings are generally landscapes or florals, created with multiple layers. Like nature, there are many hidden secrets that are there to be discovered when you look closely enough. Her textiles are also multi-layered, using combinations of wool felt, hand-dyed silks, embroidery and found elements. Julie Smith will be participating in the 2021 Margaret River Region Open Studios.
