About Julie Balogh

Julie Balogh Brand born 1968 in Cleveland, Ohio has been living and working as a studio ceramic artist since 1994 in Cuba, Missouri. She received her BA of Arts and Sciences with a major in Art Therapy from Capital University in Columbus, Ohio in 1989. Julie is largely self taught but has studied through workshops with internationally known ceramic artists she admires such as Ron Myers, Michael Corney, George Bowes, Woody Hughes, Neil Tetkowski and Sergei Isupov.

Julie’s father is a Hungarian immigrant and the Hungarian culture was a part of her growing up in Cleveland. The brightly colored Hungarian pottery and embroidery she viewed in her many travels to Hungary and throughout her house as a child evidently had an impact upon her intense use of color in her ceramic work today.

Julie moved from New York city to Cuba, Missouri about thirteen years ago to set up a ceramic studio and pursue a career as a potter. Over these years her work has been transformed by her natural surroundings and is evident in it’s organic composition. Each ceramic piece is approached exclusively as a new canvas through form, color and imagery.
