Julie Westbury

Julie Westbury graduated in fine art from Chelsea School of Art,London; she works now with drawing, collage and photography.  Her work is informed by a personal wide-ranging eclectic knowledge of art history, which crosses all times, and civilisations, and both high and low culture. Connected to this is a great love of and familiarity with museums that range from national collections to small local and specific collections. Her collages that use her photography, found images and painting are about figures in spaces, often with reference to an artifact or painting seen in a museum. 

Julie has exhibited widely and her work is included in many collections. Amongst other exhibitions she has shown with the Crafts Council and in Art Futures with the Contemporary Art Society and has illustrations in a book for Sotheby’s. Photographs exhibited in Turner Contemporary Open originate in the V&A Museum of Childhood.
