Artist and metal smith Julie A. Brown's work explores the shapes, colours and textures of nature. With paint, found objects, metal and stone she expresses a deep, intuitive connection to the earth and the creatures which live upon it.

She stumbled into her career as an artist quite by accident when a sudden, life-threatening health challenge forced an early retirement after nearly 25 years as a horse and rider trainer. Needing something to fill that very large void, she took an introduction to drawing workshop where she was immediately reconnected to the joy she felt as a child while sketching and doodling anything with four legs, especially horses. She found this re-discovered passion allowed her to express her newly found appreciation for the simple things in life.
