This painting was influenced by my time living in Africa. The paintings relates to a Sudanese custom of welcoming strangers - large water containers ‘ziirs’ are left outside houses; filled with water for passing strangers to quench their thirst. The compassion struck me and I fell in love with this idea of sharing. ‘It’s wonderful to be able to offer comfort to others and to experience the kindness of people in a place where you are just a visitor.’ To produce an 'earthy' feel I used thick textured oil paint on canvas. Colours are coppers, reds and terracotta. This artwork comes ready mounted on a beautiful bespoke floater/tray frame handmade by the artist Shelly Rose. The frame has graphite coloured sides with copper leaf detail on the front edges and a picture hanging cord attached to the back. Please use cotton gloves when handling.

Fine artist and silversmith Born in the UK but inspired by her experience of life in Africa, Julia’s colour-rich, textured oil paintings relate to a Sudanese custom of welcoming strangers - large vessels that are used in food storage and preparation are also left with water for passing strangers. Julia hopes that others will be inspired by the warm humanity of her African friendships: ‘It’s wonderful to be able to offer comfort to others and to experience the kindness of people in a place where you are just a visitor.’ In her work as a silversmith Julia uses traditional techniques and innovative original designs to create unique pieces of jewellery using only the finest materials. ‘I am passionate about the work I do, I constantly push the parameters of my designs, striving to produce mini pieces of 'art' to be treasured and passed on from one generation to the next.’ More recently Julia has started to incorporate real silver into her fine-art work weaving into the canvases, adding fine silver leaf and using her hallmark as a signature on those paintings that contain silver. A few years ago Julia returned to Africa staying two years in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, where she taught art at The French International School and exhibited at the East African Art Biennale and the East African Art Safari where her paintings were chosen to travel to Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda. Julia is currently the Chair and a curator of The Mill Exhibition, Guildford and a member of The Society of British Jewellers. Her work can be found in collections world wide including China, USA, Australia, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Sudan, Tanzania, Croatia, and the UK.
