About Joolz

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

A designer of unique curiosities, I make layered paintings, handmade books and other items using my own photography, stich, vintage treasures and gathered items. My aim is always to create beauty, detail or narrative as a personal response to an item that has been otherwise discarded. I love the storytelling element of my work... I am very attracted to assemblage, texture and surface design, especially in nature and on textiles..

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 textile art interests began as soon as my grandmother taught me to knit and sew as a child. I love vintage and refashioned fabrics and they inspire me constantly.

Thankyou for taking time to stop by...
