About Me & STABLeS STUDIOS

Welcome to Julie Lynch at Stables Studios, my creative home within the historic stables at Throsby Park in the Southern Highlands.

I am a full-time artist with a deep love for capturing the beauty of nature and the stories woven into both vintage and contemporary objects. Through my paintings, I hope to inspire a stronger connection to the world around us, offering moments of joy, wonder and quiet reflection.

Creativity has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Drawing, painting and making have always been my way of exploring the world, inspired by nature's beauty and the treasured objects we collect along the way. Today, surrounded by the quiet yet exhilarating beauty of the Southern Highlands, I continue to draw inspiration from the landscape, gardens, seasons and everyday moments that find their way into my work.

My paintings blend the vibrancy of nature with the charm of nostalgic and contemporary objects, each piece telling its own unique story. Using bold colour, layered textures and a combination of impasto techniques and collage, I create artworks that celebrate beauty, memory and connection.

Over the years, I have been privileged to exhibit in galleries throughout Australia, with my work finding homes in private collections both here and overseas. One of the greatest joys of my practice is sharing that creative journey with others, whether through exhibitions, collector visits, painting classes, mentorship programs or my seasonal Open Studio Days.

Stables Studios has been created as a place where art, creativity, history and community come together. A place to pause, be inspired, learn, collect, create and connect.

I invite you to visit, explore my latest collections and become part of this exciting new chapter.
