Jules Newman is a London based artist whose fascinations with mythology, dreams, and symbols and interests in theatre and performance have led her to work in a variety of roles including in-crowd performer, model, make up artist, set designer, props maker, and events manager. She also runs an online spell shop called 'The Magic Tree', and makes horned headpieces, masks and wigs as part of another project called 'Ghoulia's Peculiars'.
In all her endeavours Jules seeks to stimulate people to challenge their understanding of normality and to engage with their environment, senses and imagination. This can be manifested through meditation, through physical acts that symbolise catharsis, or by encouraging people to embrace the daydreams, wonder, humour and playfulness that may be considered conventionally unacceptable. She aims to provide disguises that reveal truth and enable an authentic and inspiring experience.
