Artist: Julie Robertson

My life has taken me from the South West seascapes of Devon and Dorset to the stunning landscapes of Scotland and the North of England, to the cityscapes of London, Glasgow, Newcastle, Nottingham and now the Midlands and Birmingham for the last 17 years.

My work has likewise evolved from this wealth of travel, artistic study and experimentation, with inspiration coming from liminal spaces such as caves, and from a variety of organic forms. I am a very intuitive person and work in a variety of media. I am open to resolution of concepts into all relevant areas of expression and hope to continue to explore more 3-dimensional work and new media as opportunities arise.

I have recently produced a series of abstract canvases based on rock and cave formations, and also some photographic work based on the landscape of Northern England and Venice. I graduated in 2006 from UCE where my work was mostly 3-dimensional, specifically large abstract sculptures influenced by Artists such as Tony Cragg, Andy Goldsworthy and Petah Coyne.

I have exhibited in and around Birmingham, at St. Martin's in the Bullring, Warwickshire and as far as the South Coast. I have done a variety of commissions in 3- and 2-dimensions and am hoping to add workshops into my skill set. My artwork is available online via www.artgallery.co.uk
