Julia Loken is a watercolour artist based in Eynsham, near Oxford, where she and her husband live in a 220 year old cottage with beautiful flower and vegetable gardens. Here she grows many of the plants that appear in her paintings, but she also enjoys painting a variety of country landscapes, both at home and abroad.

Before starting to paint professionally, Julia worked for 20 years as a botanical illustrator, making detailed pen and ink illustrations for textbooks and botanical publications. She was originally employed at the Forest-Botany Herbarium at Oxford University, England, but then worked freelance when she moved with her husband to the United States for five years. This work continued when they returned to Oxford, now with two children.

In 1980, she turned her attention to watercolours, and with no formal training, began to paint. Her interest in botany, and her love of plants naturally led her to choose these forms as her main subjects, but she also enjoys painting a variety of country landscapes, both at home and abroad.
