Jules Jackson

After leaving art school, where Jules studied painting, she worked in Community Arts before training to be an Art Psychotherapist. Based in Glasgow, she worked for many years for the NHS in Mental Health and now is painting professionally full-time.

Her work is mainly inspired by the sea, skies and landscape of Knapdale, Argyll, where Jules spends as much time as she can walking, exploring, absorbing and storing up ideas for paintings.

 “In my work I am exploring my felt-experience of the sea, the sky, and the land in-between. My painting process is intuitive and is informed by what I call my ‘heart response’, my internal landscape’s reflection to a remote external landscape, as opposed to a striving for a figurative or literal depiction.  I am aiming to capture an expansiveness, a limitlessness, a spaciousness or other worldliness, of the ephemeral quality of the ever-changing light and elemental energies. I am drawn to the sense of isolation and wonder one can experience when confronted by the immeasurable beauty and power of nature associated with the Romantic landscape painting tradition.”
