Julie's pieces capture the essence of west coast bohemian lifestyle with modern texture combinations, chunky yarns, luxury fibres, and a hint of nostalgia. 

Process

For me, creating is a very organic process. I usually start with a theme, or a colour inspiration, or a vibe, and then I let the ropes or yarn tell me what they want to be, how they want to play together. I love experimenting and playing with contrasting textures and colours. I am always pushing myself to try something new and expand my palettes and materials that I work with. I love making bespoke, one of a kind pieces that are unique and personal.

Available artwork

All my hangings are created in my home studio in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia. I incorporate bold color combinations and a variety of textures and materials. Each unique piece is thoughtfully crafted by hand adding warmth, happiness, and color to your home.

Joanna Cormack

Commissioning a second piece from this amazing local artist was quite literally the best art purchase I’ve ever made. Having already owned a smaller of Julie’s pieces that I had stumbled upon at a local art fair I wanted something custom made for my new home.

The process was collaborative and fun, I was able to be involved in the design process and Julie realized my vision to perfection and on time.

Julie’s work is unique and magnificent. It undoubtedly changes the entire feel of a place, bringing a warm and comforting energy and softness to any room. The piece inspires fascination from all who pass it by. Thank you so much Julie, I look forward to owning many more of your gorgeous creations.

I am totally in love with my Julie McCracken fibre art wall hanging! Every time I look at it on my wall it gives me a great sense of peace and everyone who encounters it says the same thing. The passion, creativity and expertise she puts into every piece is evident when you look at the breadth of her work. I am honoured to own one of her bespoke pieces and I hope to own many more.

My Julie McCracken “roundie” was a special gift from my sweetheart, who asked Julie to create a piece that would memorialize the many layers of feelings I had about turning 50. Turns out my geode-inspired roundie has been an appropriate metaphor for aging – every day when I look at it, I find something new to appreciate, some fresh response I didn’t expect. Thank you Jules – this piece means a lot to me.
