Julie first fell in love with ceramics in a summer school
class just before high school and has been playing in clay ever since. After
college (BA Art San Diego State University) and graduate school (MA
Art University of Northern Iowa ) she tried to be more practical and
work in graphic design. But when she discovered she could make a living with
clay there was no turning back.
For many years Julie worked in colorful, detailed inlaid colored porcelain,
shipping to galleries all over the country. In 2000 she made a shift in emphasis,
no longer marketing her work through wholesale markets, abandoning all the
travel and concentrating on San Diego. She now works in high fire stoneware
and porcelain. Her work is notable for it rich colorful glazes and is designed
for function as well as decoration. She teaches at Grossmont College and Southwestern
College and is a member of Allied Craftsmen.
Her work can also be found at Scarab Pottery, 1827 India Street, in San
Diego’s Little Italy.
