About
Julie Ford
Thank you for visiting.
I love variety so I create in oils, acrylics and watercolour and soft pastels and am always exploring styles and mediums.
I am an Associate Artist for Unison Colour soft pastels and in 2022 I hosted their free, 5 day facebook challenge, Take Me to the Beach for a global audience of over 1000.
I love to help others discover their own inner artist so I teach regularly in person at local classes and online. I also give demos for art clubs and groups.

Top Ten Tips for Rocking Art Fairs and Live Events
Have you ever attended an art or craft fair or even paid a lot of money for a large exhibition, only to come home disappointed at lack of sales. You are not alone!
However, it's not all about sales on the day. With a 30 year career in corporate sales and exhibitions, I have learned how to optimise opportunities at every event. This small, local event generated not just sales but contacts and prospects which eventually turned into valuable leads
Success comes from knowing how to capture and nurture your contacts to turn them into supporters, helpful networks and valued customers.

Next Soft pastel workshop 6th April
No skill or ability is needed to enjoy a soft pastel workshop or art class. Spending a few hours playing with colour will leave you feeling like you have been to the spa. Relaxed, chilled and upbeat. You will also have a piece of work to take home with you to be proud of. What's not to love?!
