Meet Julie Wright

I am a Texas-based artist and designer. After studying both graphic design and fine art at Texas Tech University, I spent the early years of my career as a digital designer building brands for corporate clients. I spent much of my free time experimenting with photography and painting to satisfy my desire to create more tactile, physical expressions of work. Over time though, all of my creative passions and skills have merged; strengthening and transforming into award-winning work that is unmistakably my own.

My current body of work emerged in 2024. I was in my early 30s and a mother of a 2-year-old when I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I found myself craving a new creative outlet to allow me the space to process and heal. A key condition was creating whatever I wanted without outside pressure. Throughout months of treatment, I spent precious moments of spare time experimenting and trying any new mediums that gave me joy. Ultimately, I have found comfort and excitement in creating art that preserves memories, bridges generational gaps, and brings smiles to so many faces.  

Julie has exhibited her fine art at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens, Doss Cultural & Heritage Museum, Dallas Metro Arts Contemporary, and the University of St. Thomas. Since 2012, her career as a corporate graphic designer has varied in scope and scale from creating marketing collateral for small local startups to building the brand for the formidable Fort Worth Dickies Arena. Julie is most proud of her work that has had a tangible impact on the community or environment and includes creating for organizations such as the Saint Francis Wolf Sanctuary, Habitat for Humanity, the American Heart Association, and the San Antonio Zoo.
