Juli Fejer

Juli Fejer’s work explores the cycles of the natural world, in particular letting go and regeneration.

From the street trees of south London to Suffolk’s ancient oaks, she is drawn to trees and their secret language.  She is motivated by the role of forests in combating climate change.  Fibromyalgia gives her an acute sensitivity to external stimuli, which allows her to pick up the nuances of her surroundings.

Fejer’s work invites the viewer into a world that is both familiar and unfamiliar through the use of unexpected palette, mark making and perspective.  Although she identifies in the tradition of the outsider artist, she was brought up in a house of colour and design, and has always thought in pictures.  Her grandfather was a Hungarian watercolourist.

She uses watercolour, acrylic and digital media.  Different techniques allow her to express varying moods and ideas.

Five years ago, Juli Fejer began painting to distract herself from the chronic pain of fibromyalgia.

In 2021, Fejer was selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and invited to take part in a BBC2 documentary.  Her work has appeared in the ING Discerning Eye in 2020 and 2021.  She has participated in numerous art fairs and group exhibitions.  In 2022, she exhibited with the Society of East Anglian Watercolourists and non-profit organisation, ArtCan.  Her first gallery exhibition was in April 2022 at the Guildhall Gallery, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.  Called ‘Walking with Trees’, it celebrated the benefits of being in nature.
