“By exposing her canvases to the ecosystem, there is a weathering that completes each painting, solidifying its physical connection to the land and, in the words of the artist, ‘serving as a time- and site-specific record of the natural world’.

Roche’s paintings move beyond simply depicting her surrounds and reflect the atmospheric changes and emotive qualities of the land at night. Her surety of touch reveals her empathetic relationship with the environment and deep understanding of the power of nature.” - Rebecca Blake

We also talk about disability and inclusivity in the art world, and Julia’s personal and working relationship with her vibrant older sister Jackie - who is also an artist, and who has Down Syndrome.”
