Yorkshire art has challenged the whole concept of a canvas!

Real feathers - A very fragile and unusual canvas! As you can imagine each feather will move, so the correct amount of pressure, paint and water must be applied. The feathers are sourced from Julie's own poultry, upcycled, and recycled.

Julie experimented with several different mediums before finally choosing feathers, which she now associates with the sad loss of Frank, her grandson, at only 17 days old.

Julie endeavours to capture the character and beauty of nature, with her fine detailed, miniature paintings on feathers ("nature on nature.")
