"The joy of expression - big swooping background moves of brush and paint over canvas, then careful respectful strokes for detail, letting the buttery paint slip and slide into the spaces it should fill.  To create something visual is a powerful handmade and heartfelt experience."

Juliet's artworks include strong horizon lines and her ongoing work with gold leaf celebrates the beauty and moods of New Zealand skies, landscapes and water.

Living and working by the sea in Island Bay, Juliet is always observing and loving the ever-changing southern skies, sea and coastlines.

Gold leaf and texture mediums on canvas or wood panel shapes are an important part of Juliet's art practice. Her love of painting New Zealand's stunning landscapes and our native birds, flora and fauna over many years is finding real maturity and evolving in new and exciting directions.
