Bio
Julie Monro-Allison is a visual artist and researcher living on Ngunnawal and Ngambri country (Canberra, Australia).

She has exhibited her work in artist-run and regional galleries in south-eastern Australia, and in 2019 was a finalist in the Hidden Rookwood Sculpture Prize and the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize.
