Julie Bolus is a mixed media artist based in Norwich, England. Bolus lives on a boat on the Norfolk Broads, therefore much of her work is centred around her surroundings. She has said that she gets inspiration from everywhere such as if she is on a walk in her local area or if it’s a view from her boat that she lives in. She works with a wide range of media such as paint, collage and printmaking. Her prints are usually lino prints which gives a very bold effect that really attracts you to her work. In this print we see how clean her prints are as well as how the striking contrast of the negative spaces are. Her fascination with the outdoors is clearly seen in this print as we can see her own imagination brought into the print that is carried throughout all of her lino prints. We can see a nautical theme carried throughout all her work which is influenced by her love of the water and passion for nature.
