I know something about Julia and have one of her prints. I knew her briefly in the early noughties, when we met at an Association of Photographers annual members’ show, I was introduced by my friend Richard Clark, another member. The show’s title was Cafe Society and Julia’s entry was a humorous panoramic of her local caff featuring a couple of friends. I liked it and asked Julia if she would sell it to me, which she did. I can send you an image if you’re interested. I met her again at the AOP when she was recruiting potential bone marrow donors at a charity event she organised . She wasn’t so lucky herself and sadly died of leukaemia at 33. She was a talented, funny, dynamic and popular woman will many friends, who also contributed to proto urbanite hipster magazine The Idler. In their obituary to her they also described her as a fine horsewoman! If any of this is useful to build up more of a picture of an artist whose untimely death I know touched many people, then please fell free to use it.

A book of Julia's photographs and thoughts is soon to be published and this will be sold to help fund the important Leukaemia research at Bart's Hospital in London. Anyone who would like to see more, or buy some of Julia's photographs which she printed herself can see more in this book. The ISBN will shortly be available and will be put on this site.
