Juliet graduated with BA Hons Fine Art Painting from the University of Brighton (Northbrook) in 2011.There Juliet started using salt as an art medium, along with the colour 'Blue' which became a fascination due to the colour's significance in the histories and theories of art: From Giotto's Frescoes, through Kandinsky's colour symbols, to Yves Klein's International Blue. All manner of religious, heavenly, and spiritual connections have been made: The colour of limitless skies and seas, and to space itself.
Rhythms of Nature & Trees by the Sea are current bodies of work that began from walking with my son and our family dog to a tree-lined park near the Hove coast: "Time to make a wish, we're at Wish Park."
​
What would you wish for
at Wish Park?
​
The trees bent & windblown by south-westerlies, rustle and whisper: Of laughter & smiles, innocence & loyalty, losing & winning, comradeship & the season's rhythms.
Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring

Since the age of 7, Dorothy has been creative and 'crafty'. Her earliest memory of making was of a tea cosy with an alligator on it!
Her enjoyment in being creative now touches many home-craft disciplines from sewing or crochet, cake baking & decorating, paper-crafting projects - including card making and drawing.
These craft projects continually develop providing useful and often humorous gifts, whilst also being a beneficial distraction from her body and mind pains & traumas.
​
For Dorothy, being creative really is a therapeutic & joyful necessity; and in her 50th year, one she feels honoured to share in this Artists Open House.
