Julia Midgley R.E. Dip. A.D. M.A.F.A.  

Welcome to my website. I am an artist & printmaker, a figurative artist with an emphasis on drawing, I work predominantly on paper often deriving subject matter from direct observation.

New Documentary project:-

In March 2007 I was appointed DLA Piper Artist in Residence for the new LJMU Art & Design Academy.

To see the gallery of the Art & Design Academy drawings visit:- http://www.ljmu.ac.uk/corporatecommunications/92595.htm 

"DLA Piper has opened the doors of its Liverpool legal practice to one of the UK's leading documentary illustrators as part of a unique 'fly on the wall' initiative." As the new DLA Piper Artist in Residence, I will be documenting not only life in the firm's offices on Water Street but also the ongoing regeneration of Liverpool's city centre.

Thanks to DLA Piper's sponsorship I will be chronicling the development of the University's new £23 million Art and Design Academy, currently being developed on a site close to the Metropolitan Cathedral. The Academy is a major cultural building scheduled to open during 2008 when Liverpool is European Capital of Culture.

Professor Michael Brown, LJMU's Vice Chancellor, said: "Documentary illustration has a unique role within art today, making us more aware of the meaning and significance of seemingly everyday experiences. That's why this new body of work represents much more than a documentary record of a year in the life of DLA Piper or even the development of our new Art and Design Academy. It is a snapshot of Liverpool at a very exciting stage in its history. "
