About Julie Simmons:

Julie Simmons trained as a commercial artist (Graphic Artist) after finishing school. She then worked as a tracer and detail draftsperson for an engineering company, where she also created exploded view drawings for car manuals.

While raising her family, Julie completed two Diplomas in pottery at Penrith TAFE, which led to a successful 16-year career as a studio potter.

In 2004, Julie returned to painting, focusing mainly on watercolours. Always keen to experiment, she expanded her practice to include oils, acrylics, and mixed media.

Julie now spends much of her time travelling in her trusty campervan, ‘Clarice’, sketching and painting across the country. Her sketchbooks and studies are the foundation for her studio work.

She has received numerous awards throughout Australia, and her work has been acquired by various councils and private businesses.

Julie is a Fellow of the Royal Art Society, and her paintings can be viewed at:

Soho Galleries
KAB Galleries
Purple Noon Gallery, Freemans Reach (www.purplenoongallery.com.au)
Manyung Galleries
