Julie Ward, nee Stephenson, was born in Sale, Gippsland Victoria.

Her love of the ocean is evident in her interpretation of the sea. Bold, strident colours, often with palette-knife texture , form the greater part of her large canvases. It’s no wonder her works are large and bright, a reflection of life-changing corneal graft operations as a young adult.

Julie enjoys painting landscapes too, the freedom of abstracts and the discipline of portraits, but the sea remains a huge draw card painting in her Art Sea studio in Seaspray.

 Wellington Bluegrass Jammers provides an opportunity for musicians interested in Bluegrass and Traditional Old Time Country Music to get together and play the music they love on a regular basis.

Our next jam will be held at Bond Street Event Centre, 10 Bond St, Sale, on Sunday, 7 April, from 1.00 pm to 4.00 pm (note that we’ve reverted to Sundays). There will be a $10.00 entry fee to cover venue hire.

Wellington Bluegrass Jammers’ aims to cater to musicians of all abilities. Many Bluegrass and Old Time tunes use simple chord progressions and instrumental virtuosity is not essential. The object is to encourage participation and enjoyment.

The group’s Facebook page can be found at https://www.facebook.com/Wellington-Bluegrass-Jammers-349975162124941/, where you can see information of interest to the group, including clips of jam tunes.
