Julie Caves paints, makes her artists’ books and plans her projects out of her light-filled studio at the Chocolate Factory N16 in North East London. She began her art studies in California in 1989, studied art in Spain, received her BFA in Studio Art (Sculpture and Printmaking) in Texas, and her MA in Bookarts from Camberwell College of Arts in London. She has participated in exhibitions in the US, Spain, Korea, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and the UK. She has artists’ books and prints in a number of public collections including the Tate Britain Gallery Special Collection.

When she wants a work to be seen first all at once as a whole, and then later examined more closely, she makes a painting. When she wants the work to first be looked at bit-by-bit and then finally understood as a whole, she makes a book.
