Jules explores the hidden colours and textures of hedgerows and British native tree species. She contributed to the Green Plan Hedgerow Survey Team, a joint initiative with the Watlington Climate Action Group and the Watlington Environment Group, and later collaborated with The University of Oxford’s ‘Science Together’ project. Together they developed a community programme focused on hedgerow inks and pigments and investigated mixing them into CO₂-absorbing, VOC-free paint.

Jules’ current research centres on the Broad Arboretum at the Earth Trust, Oxfordshire, home to all 49 British native trees planted over 30 years ago. She has been recording seasonal leaf colours and the inks they produce, and tracking chlorophyll to see how nature’s palette shifts over time. Working at the intersections of art, science, and ecology, Jules weaves observation, experiment, and creative practice to uncover the subtle rhythms and transformations of the natural world.
