JJulie Kuyath, originally from New Mexico, led a nomadic life across the United States and Germany before her family settled in England. Her curiosity for artistic expression led her to study Fine Art at Hull University, followed by a postgraduate qualification in Silversmithing and Jewellery Design at London Guildhall University. In the 90s, she established herself as a jewellery designer, supplying avant-garde boutiques in London.

In 2002, Julie underwent a lifestyle change, spending a decade immersing herself in the culture of Barcelona, Spain. Drawn back to Fine Art, she discovered collage, a medium she found diverse and texturally rich. Over the years, Julie honed her craft, achieving a level of technical expertise that set her apart from her contemporaries.

Julie's collages are created using discarded fashion magazines, symbolically rejuvenating their pages with her alchemical skill, blending colours to achieve a painterly vibrancy. Her work is marked by intricate detail and complexity, reflecting her instinctive creative impulses.

Although she maintains a reclusive artistic practice, luminaries like Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, and Vivienne Westwood have recognized her unique style, displaying her work in their homes.

Julie's passion for fashion and textiles led her to explore interior design, resulting in a collection of wall hangings and fabrics sourced from her collages. Notably, her pirate-themed wallpaper, "Poseidon's Curse," graces the Private Dining Room of Mayfair's seafood restaurant, Saltie Girl. In 2022, she successfully collaborated with Coast Fashion, translating three of her collages into an exclusive collection of embellished occasional wear, followed by a second collaboration with Coast in October 2023.

In April 2023, Jule opened her first showroom in the historic East Sussex town of Lewes.

Julie Kuyath welcomes collaborations, fine art commissions, and bespoke interior design projects.
