Through a lush courtyard and large glass pane timber doors you enter the incredible Wunderkarmer wonderland studio of Julia deVille. But for Solace Julia guides me up a flight of stairs into her living room and bedroom. A mediation alter in the living room is the first thing that catches your eye. Residing around a cast iron fireplace, it is esoterically ornamented by candles and crystals, the largest of which is a splendid piece of amethyst. The bedroom is evocative and romantic. White walls offset elements of the Victorian and Belle Epoque eras. A dark stained antique timber dresser displays an array of small antique objects and vintage accessories and hats. After exhibiting an astounding ten times in 2014 she became unwell with adrenal fatigue and decided she needed to make some changes to her life, “That’s when I moved my bedroom upstairs away from the studio and started meditating for an hour a day”, she says. Essential elements for her space... "Solitude is one of the most important things in my life. I am an introvert and I recharge when I’m alone.. Having beauty around me is also important. Plants, antiques, animals all give me joy" she says.
