Julia Trigg is a local graphic designer who makes digital collages using all kinds of typography. Her artwork reflects a love of paper ephemera and often uses found printed matter in her compositions.
This means there is no end to the experimentation with colour, composition, scale and texture. She creates lively, graphic pieces using ham radio cards from the 1920s, wood block type and hand written messages, stamps and envelopes, postcards and letters.
You can see examples of her work here.

Fantastic – I love Julia’s work, although when I first saw it I was horrified at the thought of all that ephemera being cut up! Once I read about it though I was very relieved :) Looking forward to the exhibition.
I love the look of Julia’s art. I have seen her work at some of the open days and think it’s new and exciting. I’ll definitely try to make it along to the exhibition.
Julia’s prints (it’s really worth seeing them in the ‘flesh’ as some are quite large and you will see a lot detail and subtlety of colour) are contemporary and evocative, beautifully crafted yet they look fresh and spontaneous with interesting, sometimes complex, colours and textures. I’m a big fan, looking forward to being tempted to add to my collection!
