Julia Fry (she/her) is a multi-disciplinary artist with a fascination for detail and layering, which shows up across all the mediums she works with: film, drawing, painting, sculpting, mixed media and interactive events. Themes in Julia’s work are power / powerlessness and the othering that can occur from these. She expresses the tensions and beauty to be found in the dynamics of these opposites, which matches those found in nature and cosmology. Julia’s special interests in shamanism and psychotherapy feed into these themes. Having achieved an MSc in Creative Psychotherapy in 2023, Julia is also a practicing psychotherapist, working with neurodivergent people. Neurodivergent herself, Julia has lived experience of feeling discrimination at the intersections of ability and gender. Because of this, Julia found it hard to place herself in the art world in 2015 after graduating with a BA(Hons) in Moving Image at University of Brighton. Julia became affiliated with arts charity, Outside In, with whom she has received many awards, in 2016. Through Outside In, Julia became a British Council Fellow, conducting arts research at the Venice Biennale in 2024. Julia is interested in asymmetric equality as an antidote to ableism in the art world (with broader implications).
