JULIA PEDDIE
About me:
Julia Peddie, fine artist, illustrator, graphic designer
I am an artist-illustrator and graphic designer living in Woombye, on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
I mostly work in 2D; mixed media, printmaking, oils and acrylics. I have consistently produced artworks during my working life since graduating from City Art Institute, formerly Alexander Mackey, in Sydney in 1989.
I attended the Enmore Design Centre (formerly Randwick TAFE) in the early nineties, and have designed award-winning publications for the National Gallery of Victoria (2006, Children's Book Education category), and have had an extensive career in publishing working for Vogue Australia (1995) & National Magazines, London (1996-8) and Firefly Education Publishing on the Sunshine Coast (2016).
In 2006 I began The Healesville Labyrinth Project during my art placement at The Rivendell Community mental health support service, while studying Transpersonal Art Therapy at the Phoenix Institute for Transpersonal studies. The 2009 Black Saturday Bushfires transformed Victorian communities and lives. The Labyrinth project was completed after years of fundraising and became a bushfire Memorial project (opened in 2011), as did the 1000 Hands project (2009-12) created with a team of artists in Marysville from The Triangle Arts Group (TAG) to help the community heal from the tragedy.
I now lives on an abundant permaculture property with my husband Jim Hodgetts, creating artwork inspired by nature, in an attempt to capture her magical spirit.
My most recent publication 'My Inner Light' is due to be released in September 2024.
