Julia Manning is a Somerset based artist-printmaker.

She has participated in two SWLA projects — the Wallasea RSPB residency in 2015 and the Wadden Sea Denmark project in 2019.

As well as being a professional member of the SWLA, Julia is also a Member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, the Devon Guild of Craftsmen and Somerset Printmakers.

She was one of the four members of Pine Feroda from 2015 — 2019.

Julia has prints in the following collections: the British Embassy in Paris, Paintings in Hospitals, the Aberystwyth Print Archives, the British Museum and the House of Lords.

Julia’s inspiration comes from — drawing in the wild and the geology of islands; the colours and essence of different places; rock formations on which birds nest; rocky outcrops over which seabirds glide. It is a colourful celebration of the natural world.
