Julie Paterson is a painter, a printmaker, a designer of textiles and a brand new potter. She owns ClothFabric, a textile design business that she set up over 25 years ago. She works with a small team making fabric the old-fashioned way -  locally, all by hand. She has written a book about her creative process and an imperfect manifesto to live her life by. She lives and works on Darug and Gundungurra land in the Blue Mountains NSW, right at the top of the hill. Surrounded by the bush, Julie takes her inspiration from her daily lived experience and the nature that is there, right outside her door.
