About Joolz


Hello/Croeso , I'm Joolz, an artist, illustrator and  maker living on the island of Anglesey. 


A designer of unique curiosities, I make art, handmade books and other items using my own photography,  found items, stitching , vintage papers and discarded treasures. 

My art is gently formed from layers of these things before I paint the final surface image. 


My "Creatures " are small three dimensional sculptures made using vintage fabrics, hand made clothing, and recycled materials. They all have a story to tell, and help me navigate the paths of life. 


Also, I redesign thrifted and vintage garments into pieces of wearable art, and make  unique jewellery from found items.  My grandmother taught me to knit and sew as a child. 


My painted work features portraits., horses and  Anglesey-inspired work in a naive style. I have continued to develop my practice  since childhood. 


My daily practice of creativity has become a radical act of identity and self care. 


Thankyou for taking time to stop by...

Inspirations


Home, folk art, slow living, quietly observing the seasons, found items, ancient sites, horses, storytelling, language, historic clothing, old architecture and textiles are constant inspiration. 


I'm  inspired by the Island of Anglesey where I have visited since childhood. 

In 2025 Anglesey became our permanent home .... but it has always felt so in my heart. 


The Welsh have a word, "Hiraeth" which has no direct  English equivalent, but roughly means "a deep longing for something, especially ones home" 

This applies in the context of Wales or Welsh culture.

 I have felt this longing for most of my life. 

I now feel I am home, and at the same time, starting a new chapter. 



Themes

Recurrent themes of diversity, life's journey, Identity,  things of comfort, emotions and slow living are explored in my work
