Her involvement in the electronic music scene has presented Ursula with an inspiration and backdrop in which to show her art, and over the last 12 years her illustrations and designs have been used on cd's, flyers, posters and installations in nightclubs and venues. In 1999 she helped start a bay area creative events listings magazine called 'Sensory Guide' and has designed and written for such magazines as Drop magazine in NY and XLR8R magazine in San Francisco.
In 2005 Ursula had the opportunity to live in a mountain village in Alaska, she embraced the experience and in three months had two solo exhibits and one of her paintings on the front page of the Anchorage Press promoting her Anchorage show. Originally from Northern England, Ursula spent ten years living in the lower Haight neighborhood of San Francisco where she was highly involved in an arts and music community that thrives there.
She is currently living and creating the foothills of the Sierras and shows her work frequently in the bay area and around the U.S.
