ABOUT
Julie Mia Holmes is a Printmaker and artist who loves animals and the natural world. If not lurking in her studio you can usually find her following limpet directions and mollusc highways on Broulee Island, camera and journal in hand.
Julie studied Printmaking and Drawing with Honours at the ANU's School of Art in Canberra, Australia and now lives on the South Coast of New South Wales.
Julie is happiest elbow deep in ink and playing with paper.
