Biography - Julie Gregory

I’m Julie, an artist shaped by a lifetime spent on the wild North Northumberland coast. Its gritty beauty, dramatic skies, and ever-changing sea are at the heart of everything I create. The landscape, the seasons, and the rhythm of the weather are more than inspiration—they’re part of my story. Just a thirty minutes drive is the Scottish border.. gateway to heaven, I’m often drawn north to the West Coast of Scotland, where the Highlands and islands, turquoise waters, and ever-changing weather offer endless inspiration alongside the beauty of my own shoreline.

I’ve had no formal art training, but plenty of passion. Over the years, I’ve nurtured my skills through constant curiosity, experimenting with techniques, exploring new materials, and letting my creativity lead the way. I work in mixed media, acrylic and oils with a loose, impressionistic style that helps me express what I often find hard to put into words—letting the paint do the talking.

My work spans coastal and landscape pieces, bright florals inspired by my garden, and bold, abstract works born from dramatic skies and shifting light. Colour, texture, and movement all play a vital role in capturing the emotional atmosphere of the world around me.

Thank you for stopping by. I invite you to explore my gallery or shop and see what speaks to you—I hope you find something that brings a little of the coast’s beauty and energy into your own space.
