CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWEST UNRAVELED ARTIST OF THE YEAR…
Julie Ryan
Julie is an Unraveled OG—one of our most treasured community members and a frequent face at retreats and events. She's not only an incredible artist, but an even better friend, sister, and auntie—the kind of person you call first for a girls' night or list as your number one emergency contact. She pours her whole heart into everything she creates, and it shows. Julie is as gorgeous on the inside as she is on the outside, and we are endlessly lucky to call her ours.
We didn’t choose this image just because we love Julie (though we absolutely do). We chose it because it’s hauntingly beautiful—a quiet moment suspended in time. The black and white tones give it a nostalgic, cinematic feel. Framed through the doorway, there’s both intimacy and distance, like we’re witnessing something sacred without intruding.
Light spills gently through the window, wrapping around the woman as she cradles a baby, evoking pure maternal tenderness. Paired with the checkerboard floor and vintage details, the image becomes timeless—an invitation to pause, reflect, and breathe.
Congratulations Julie and to all of the featured (and not featured) artists this week! We see you and are so damn proud of you!
