Hello.

I’m Juliet. I’m a creative director, designer and more recently, artist based in London. I come from the beautiful city of Wellington, New Zealand, where I earned my degree in design (BDes Hons). London has been my home for the past 17 years now, along with my young family and I really do love it here. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to work with a wide range of design agencies and wonderful private clients. These experiences have not only enriched my creative journey, but have also played a significant role in shaping my recent artworks.

During lockdown in 2020, I rediscovered my passion for drawing and developed the concept of spreading "hugs" through my art. I launched a little project on Instagram where I sent free artwork featuring "hugs" to nominated individuals who might have needed an extra dose of love during those challenging times. In return, those who took part had the opportunity to donate to my nominated charity, Concern Worldwide UK, which supports mothers struggling to work and raise children in parts of Africa. More recently, my chosen "hug" charity has been Furnishing Futures, an organisation dedicated to creating healing homes for women and children fleeing domestic abuse in the UK. Using my art to support larger causes has always been a fundamental aspect of my creative journey.

My artistic creations are all handcrafted and showcase a bold and minimalist style, predominantly using pen, indian ink, and watercolor. I enjoy working with dynamic brushstrokes and sometimes on colour wash surfaces. Through my artwork, I aim to capture and celebrate the precious moments of joy that exist in our everyday lives. Whether it's expressing affection towards loved ones or reminding us to appreciate those we may sometimes overlook, my pieces seek to evoke a sense of treasured connections.

While my primary creative expressions revolve around drawing and painting, I also delve into the realms of paper and collage art. I'm particularly interested in the intersection between a sense of abstraction and reality, leaving room for viewers to interpret my figurative interactions as they wish.
