Hello, I am Julie!
I began my creative journey in 2010 as a full-time artist, creating artwork for the textile, stationery and home markets through my work in surface pattern design.
Over the years, I’ve illustrated three books in my signature collage style, developed textile collections, and licensed my artwork internationally to companies including Random House Publishing, Hallmark, World Market, Trader Joe’s and Design Design, bringing my art into everyday spaces around the world.
My work blends drawing, paint, collage and expressive mark-making, often inspired by the shapes, colors and rhythms of the natural world.
In 2020, I began teaching and discovered how much I love sharing this creative process with others. My approach has grown slowly and intuitively over the years, shaped by observation, experimentation and a deep curiosity about materials and nature.
Through my teaching, I hope to invite you into that same spirit of exploration, helping you reconnect with your intuition, build your own visual language, and create art that feels personal and meaningful.
What people say about my art:
@kikibalden
I love how you do this, so wonderfully free and intuitive, just letting go and trusting the process. This is something I really struggle to do so im watching over and over. Even the different ways you hold your brush to create different marks…mesmerizing!!!

OK - the tip about stringing the papers together with a hole punch and a ring clip was *mwah!*
Don't you love what students take away from a lesson? But truly, your whole presentation was great - something for every skill level, and lots of encouragement to learn what you love, from colors to shapes to composition. Thank you!
@dgastevich
SO SO Good, @juliehamiltoncreative! I am in love with your vibe and color choices and could hardly wait until your videos premiered today. They did not disappoint!
I can't wait to get started on my zines. Thank you for putting the videos together for all of us!
Let’s create something powerful together.
If you have questions, ideas, or just want to say hello, I am always happy to connect.
Leave me a message below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Julie
