Julie Woods

When Julie Woods went blind 25 years ago, she never imagined she would go on to marry an artist and visit the great art galleries of the world. From touching the elaborate frame on Botticelli’s birth of Venus at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, to running her hand up the engraved leg of Ramses II at the Temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt, Julie now competes heroically every morning with her husband Ron Esplin to answer the art questions in the Otago Daily Times quiz. Relishing the opportunity of being an art judge again, Julie Woods is used to seeing the world through her four remaining senses and intends to smell, hear, taste and touch her way through the different entries in this competition.
