Julie Gorringe

I'm an animal and nature loving artist who enjoys trying different mediums and techniques. Although I studied art at school I took a career as a medical professional so I mostly learn from tutorials. I would like to develop a looser style in my work but I am almost obsessed with detail so its not easy.
My other interests include history, historical reenactment, folklore and legend. I love a good costume drama. I enjoy going to see musicals when I get the opportunity.
Whilst being creative I generally listen to audio books or music, I find it deeply relaxing to lose myself in a story or album when concentrating on a piece of art. I am mostly hampered by my cat who thinks cuddles are more important than art.
