My

Inspiration & Passion

Specializing in expressive abstract art, I create work inspired by the beauty of the natural world and the wonders of the cosmos. Each creation is meticulously crafted with bold colours, vivid contrasts, intricate details and textured dimension.

My goal is to create art that inspires, connects, and transforms.

Artwork that will draw you into it's depth's, spark your imagination and illuminate your own story from within.


- Explore the beauty of handcrafted expression, 

and let your story

become part of the canvas. -

 

To me, art is more than a visual experience — it’s a connection to life’s transformative moments. Whether it’s a ready-to-purchase piece or a custom commission, every creation is infused with passion and purpose, thoughtfully crafted to bring illuminating energy and inspiration into your space.

I believe art should be an active, living experience in your home. My work bridges two entirely different worlds: the serene, ethereal beauty of daylight and the electric, untamed mysteries of the cosmos at night.

What Set's My Services & Artwork Apart?

My artwork stands out - particularly, due to its captivating glow in UV light, adding an extra dimension to the already mesmerizing abstract designs.

By fusing traditional mixed-media textures with specialized phosphorescent and UV-reactive pigments, I create pieces that don't just sit on a wall—they transform your environment. When you look at my art, you are looking at a reminder that there is always a brilliant, hidden universe waiting to be uncovered just beneath the surface.

I use vivid contrasts of colour and texture, to add depth, creating multi-dimensional artwork. I then seal it, using multiple layers of Epoxy Resin, to ensure the artwork stays secure and protected over time.

Below are some mixed media textures that I commonly work with:

  • Gemstones
  • Marbles

  • Crystals (eg. Quartz)

  • Acrylic Gems, Beads & Buttons

  • Metallic Wire

  • Multi-Coloured Sand

  • Clay & Putty 

  • Beach Pebbles, Stones & Garden Rocks

  • Glitter & Sequins

  • Chain Links

 My Foundation 

& Personal Mission

I began my artistic journey in remembrance of my Mother, who was an Artist herself, as a way of navigating my life without her in it. Painting, was my way to keep feeling connected to her and my way to celebrate the profound influence she had on my life.

Her legacy ignited my passion for creative expression, forming the foundation of everything I do, and continues to shape my work, inspiring me every day, driving me to create art that others feel connected to, art that resonates deeply with those who've experienced it first hand.

 Since I turned to painting as a way to honour my Mother's memory and process my grief, each piece created during that time of my life, reflects this journey.

"The swirling colours, layered textures, and dynamic compositions are expressions of love, healing, and the profound beauty that can emerge from loss" - JV

My work is not just about what we see, but, about what we feel—

a celebration of the connections that shape us, the memories that linger, and the stories we carry forward.

I paint to express raw emotions, capture the fleeting stillness of life’s most profound moments, and create art that tells a story, connects, and endures.

My artwork represents the duality of light & shadow, symbolizing harmony within chaos and the dynamic energy created by the two high-contrasting forces

 co-existing in our lives.

This deeply personal mission lies at the heart of Art By Julia Vaughan.
