Julia Trickey
Julia Trickey is an award winning botanical artist and tutor who has exhibited internationally. She is particularly drawn to specimens that are less than perfect, especially leaves.
I love depicting the beauty and detail of nature in watercolour and am particularly drawn to specimens that are less than perfect, especially leaves.
I have been painting botanical watercolours since 1998 when I joined an adult education class in South London. I now tutor classes in Bath as well as exhibiting regularly. I have exhibited internationally, have work in collections worldwide and have received awards for my paintings.
