Based in Bolton, Julia Preston is the artist behind SulikoSoul — a creative practice rooted in bold colour, layered texture, and emotional connection to place. Working across acrylic painting, mixed media, pyrography, and anodised aluminium jewellery, her work explores the seasons, the landscape, and cultural threads that tie us to memory and meaning.

Inspired by the moors of Lancashire and her travels through the Caucasus and beyond, Julia’s art often reflects a meeting point between wild terrain and intimate stillness. Her vibrant canvases shift between abstract and figurative, often echoing the mood of the land and the rhythm of nature. Whether painting a windswept hillside or crafting a statement piece of jewellery, she invites viewers to pause, feel, and reflect.

Julia works from Falcon Mill Studios and regularly exhibits across the North of England. Her pieces are available online and through selected galleries and independent shops.
