Cloud, Minnesota, USA — Julie Makhoul, a 46-year-old artist, poet, musician, and mythmaker from St. Cloud, Minnesota, has been recognized among the Top Global Creators in Hashtag Kalakar’s International Art and Writing Contest for her Short Story entry. Her work stood out for its mythic symbolism, emotional sovereignty, and depth — reflecting a creative spirit that turns vulnerability into legend and everyday life into ritual.
A Mythmaker Bridging Cosmos and Emotion
Born in Clare, Michigan, Julie’s artistry flows through words, paint, and music — each creation a sacred act of transformation. Working with her signature hues of pink, purple, and teal, she layers constellations, unicorns, phoenixes, and butterflies into what she calls “cosmic relics of emotional truth.” Her art bridges myth and reality, evoking both tenderness and transcendence.
Her children — Zjulida, Caezar, and Sizjule — and her beloved dog Makwa serve as her guiding muses, inspiring her to weave stories of rebirth, love, and sovereignty. For Julie, creativity is not just expression; it’s a ceremony of healing.
“Alchemy begins where your scars first whispered,” she says — a quote that defines her life’s work and her philosophy of turning pain into poetic power.
