Julie Tugwell

Play, experiment — move through the resistance

“I didn’t choose art, art chose me”


Born and raised in Pretoria, South Africa, Julie’s childhood was immersed in the arts. She danced at PACT (Performing Arts Council of the Transvaal) and attended ballet and theatre performances from a young age. These experiences helped shape her deep appreciation for creative expression.

Her work spans abstracts, landscapes, florals, and portraits — each piece an invitation to pause, feel, and discover something new.
