I am Julia Swarbrick a visual artist specialising in painting and printmaking.  Alongside developing my own art practice I have extensive experience delivering workshops, demonstrations and visual arts events. It’s a real pleasure to share my skills and knowledge and I always learn so much from working with other people. My workshops cater for everyone from total beginners to experienced arts practitioners. As former artist in Residence at Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery I continue to maintain a connection with the site and take inspiration from its collections. I have exhibited widely and my work can be found in international collections from the Australia to the US. I love working with Museum and Heritage sites; they are great places to stimulate the intellect and the imagination. Creativity is my passion I hope it can be yours too.
