Juliet Stockton

As a child and teen Juliet was always drawing portraits and people and wanted a creative career. Her Grandad had been an award winning artist in the 1920’s and 30’s and an important influence. Then, somewhere along the way, after University, she ended up on the corporate pathway and a 25 year career in Human Resources.
Juliet had ignored her creative side for far too long when she eventually realised it was affecting her wellbeing, that this core part of her had been missing. So, a few years ago Juliet starting drawing again and taught herself to paint. Before she knew it, she had a waiting list for commissions and her original paintings started to sell online, Juliet was shortlisted for the VAO International and Emerging Artist award in 2020 and 2021, and her work was selected to be published in the Portraits for NHS Heroes book (by Bloomsbury) alongside internationally renowned portrait artists. She now has gallery representation and is starting to collect celebrity clients.
In November 2021, Juliet took a big leap, left her job in HR, and jumped in with both feet to follow her passion and become a full time artist. The result – she’s never been happier, she’s found her true purpose in life!
Juliet paint in acrylics with vibrant, bright colours and bold energetic brush marks, aiming for the painting to almost leap off the page. Portraits to exhilarate, invigorate, and capture moments in time, inspired by pop culture, movies, fashion history, and vintage images. She brings you fun portraits full of energy, life and joy to uplift your heart, make you feel something and recharge your soul.

Based in Neston, Cheshire, Juliet works from her studio loft at home.
