Julie Beeler is a designer, artist, and educator living at the base of a volcano in Trout Lake, WA. Growing up with a deep love and curiosity for the natural world, she conceived and launched Bloom & Dye along with the Mushroom Color Atlas to grow her work and passion to benefit what she values most: curiosity, education, creativity, collaboration, community, and the environment. For Julie, educating others on how plants, fungi and their colors reflect the beauty of nature is something she is moved to share as a way to inspire care, stewardship and impact. For seven years she was on the faculty of Pacific Northwest College of Art and Oregon College of Art & Craft in Portland, and is a teacher at Wildcraft Studio School in Portland. When she is not out foraging you can find her tending to her flower farm, working in her art studio, or leading workshops.
