Julia lives with her family in the heart of the Gaeltacht in South West County Kerry.
She completed a Degree in Combined studies Art and Design at the University of Ulster, Belfast before moving down to County Kerry to establish her business and studio.
From here, all her products are made by hand using a stoneware clay, either on the wheel or hand built.
Her two main collections are rooted in nature and a response to the surrounding countryside and coast.
Her coastal collection uses a palette of ocean blues, greens and greys. She uses oxides and underglazes to paint on illustrative fish and quirky ‘Swimmin Wimmin’. Other pieces are more painterly using subtle colours, stencils and hand painted imagery.
