In loving memory of Julie Oliver
The WBF community mourns the loss of a cherished friend. The sudden onset of Julie's illness has left a void in the hearts of her family, friends, and colleagues.
Julie Oliver not only left lasting impressions in the world of magic and illusion but also supported the World Bodypainting Festival alongside her companion Claire Pick. As the founder and editor-in-chief of Illusion Magazine, Julie knew no bounds in her passion for the enchanting art of illusion.
Initially self-published, the inaugural issue of her Illusion Magazine was an immediate success, creating fantastic designs and introducing new talent to a broader audience. The magazine was published quarterly, offering a mix of beginner step-by-step tutorials, professional techniques, and artist interviews. This blend positioned her magazine as a significant publication within the entire industry.
Julie Oliver's spirit was unwavering, and her legacy will continue to inspire the world.
Our sincere condolences go out to her family and loved ones during this difficult time.
