Paper sculptures that allows stories to unfoldTap on screen

Julia Williamson is an English paper sculptor artist born in 1968. She has a home workshop in a small village located in the French alps. This allows her to create when time permitting. Besides making sculptures regularly since 2002, she works as a community nurse. Julia has 2 adult sons, 3 step children and 5 grand children.
Travelling was a big part of her youth. At age 17, she hitchhiked around Europe and then spent 2 years doing volunteer work on a kibbutz in Israel. Back in the UK, she completed a psychiatric nursing degree (1994) and discovered FIMO modelling clay through her community care job. The artist discovered paper sculpture once she moved in France in 2000 : “A friend made me discover paper sculpture, I enjoyed working on a bigger scale than FIMO straight away, allowing to push back the field of possibilities” she says.
