In the Media:

So surprised and honored to receive a mention in Cascades Weekly's review by Stephen Hunter of the group show at Smith and Vallee Gallery!

I'm very grateful for being selected to be the contributing artist in the eARTh feature in both the Autumn 2017 and Autumn 2020 issues of Adventures NW Magazine!

Julia, why are you using the name "Joules"?

Hey Julia, why are you using the name "Joules"?

Yes, my formal name is Julia. I'm named after my great grandmother, Julia Kinney.
A handful of years ago I checked how many people shared my name. 1200 Julia Martins and 2000 Julie Martins. I needed a way to distinguish myself from others that shared the same name.

My nickname is "Joules". That particular spelling (newtons of energy) is from spending many years riding electric powered mountain bikes and producing an e-zine about electric powered bikes and cars.

There you have it. That's how I came to be known as Joules and business name JoulesPaints.

Electric Hybrid Bike designed for the military. This Tidal Force bike was one of my favorites!

From ejoebike.com published 2012

"Julia Martin, design director for V is for Voltage magazine, sets a high bar for the ebikes she test-rides and writes about. Her recommendations are based on a rigorous series of tests over different kinds of surface materials. “My daily ride includes mixed trails and roads and I rode the heck out of my [bike] until the . . . motor failed and the second set of tires were literally worn bare.”
