Originally from Sydney, Jules began her creative journey early, often found making ephemeral patterns – between handstands - at the beach. She now uses traditional basketry techniques and sustainably sourced natural fibres to explore contemporary fibre art.

Jules completed an undergraduate degree at Sydney College of the Arts and worked long hours in the 80s as an Art Director in publishing and advertising. Jules moved to London, where she freelanced for Condé Nast and travelled extensively before returning to Australia to establish a successful design consultancy specialising in visual identity, branding, and strategic marketing.

Alongside her design career, Jules became a certified yoga and mindfulness teacher, fostering her interest in wellbeing. This passion led her back to study, completing a Masters in Wellbeing Science at the University of Melbourne. Today, she integrates this expertise, helping others cultivate creativity and enhance their wellbeing to lead fulfilling lives.

For Jules, the meditative, repetitive action of weaving offers a playful escape from the constraints of client briefs. Passionate about the environment, Jules completed a Diploma of Sustainable Living at the University of Tasmania, deepening her understanding of sustainable practices and ecological systems. This knowledge informs both her lifestyle and her creative practice, reinforcing her commitment to using locally sourced, natural fibres and reducing her environmental impact.

A member of the Eurobodalla Fibre and Textile Group, Jules has exhibited her works at the annual River of Art festival.

With abundant ideas, she looks ahead to creating large-scale works with finely woven details that, like nature’s
