The Pipeworks (Study), 2021, mixed media on Fabriano paper, 60 x 60 cm

Julia Brown is a UK-based painter creating quiet, immersive works rooted in light, texture and the natural world. Her paintings invite stillness, reflection, and sensory connection.

Her work explores the emotional experience of place—especially the fleeting beauty of Komorebi—the Japanese concept of sunlight filtering through trees.

She exhibits regularly across the UK, has been shortlisted for the New Light Art Prize and the Cooper Prize, and teaches at North Light Art School in West Yorkshire.
