The rich assortment of flora and fauna in the local region shapes the inspiration for much of Julia Manning’s work. Often found with binoculars or telescope in hand, Julia seeks to observe scenarios and interactions between birds and animals - whether it be an exchange of glances or the movement of a bird in flight; she instinctively interprets a fleeting moment in sketch and then later re-interprets in print. Her depth of knowledge and appreciation for her subject matter is palpable and adds to the vibrancy and animation of her prints.
