ORIGINAL LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS

by Julia Woodhouse

About me..

After a foundation year at Edinburgh College of Art, I studied at Manchester Metropolitan University specialising in clothing production and built my career in the fashion industry. I am now focussing on my true passion of landscape painting.

Inspired by my surroundings..

For twenty five years I have lived surrounded by the stunning landscape of Calderdale, a landscape carved by glaciers that encompasses wooded valleys, tumbling streams and waterfalls, and rugged moors with big skies. With constantly changing weather, the shifting light and colours create unique perspectives throughout the seasons.

Inspired by my natural surroundings I work with acrylics and oils on canvas, aiming to capture the light and textures of a scene so the painting can bring the beauty of our environment into our living spaces.

Special places..

Having grown up in Scotland I love to return and be surrounded by the open landscapes, from the Borders to the west coast and Highlands & Islands. I'm also lucky to be able to spend time with friends on the Llyn Peninsula in the north of Wales, and with family around the north lakes of Cumbria.

The sea, the hills, the weather are endlessly inspiring.

I am open to commissions to capture your own cherished landscapes and places, including house and garden portraits.
