I’m a writer, artist, gardener and lover of personality-filled spaces.
Inside AND out!

For 15 years Studio Home has been my place to share ideas, inspiration and art to help your home and garden feel like your own.

In June 2023 I’m proud to present my new affordable membership-based gardening platform called Unearthed.

A series I wrote to provide pathways and encouragement for people to design and curate their homes in reflection of their interests and lives - rather than just the trends of the moment.

It was so wonderful to have Julia as a guest creative for our Creative Conversation Lunch series. Her story is so inspiring and her honesty, authenticity and sense of self-deprecating humour only endeared her to us, and our audience even more - if that is possible, because we all already loved her! Julia’s enthusiasm, energy and passion for her creative projects and fellow creatives carries everyone along with her. So inspirational!
