Julia Wright Crosara is an artist and graphic designer based in Seattle, working across painting, textiles, and visual communication. She brings more than twenty years of experience in academia, special collections and archives, advertising, web consulting, and mission-driven work.
Her design practice, Apollino Design, works closely with artists, cultural organizations, and nonprofits. She begins by listening, considering what is needed, who it is for, and how it will be used, then develops visual systems that are clear, flexible, and built to last across print and digital formats.
Her studio practice remains a steady thread. She moves between painting and textiles, working through layering, erasure, and reconstruction so that each piece carries traces of time and revision. In her weaving, she uses hand-spun fibers, repurposed materials, and painted canvas cut into strips, allowing color and texture to shift gradually through the process.
