juliejohnsonpottery's Profile

Bio

Julie Johnson is a full time studio potter living in Interlaken, NY. She began working in clay while attending SUNY Cortland and graduated in 1995 with a BA in Studio Art. She further pursued her interest in ceramics by attending the Kansas City Art Institute to concentrate in ceramics and earn a BFA. She also holds a MFA from Utah State University, where she also studied printmaking and taught classes.

Julie uses porcelain and works to find a balance between the decorated surface and the pot’s form. She designs the surface spontaneously, forming a bridge between two-dimensional media and the sculptural aspects of pots. An etched line, a calligraphic brushstroke and the movement and pattern of a written language influence the surface. Growth and motion are represented by universal images of birds and plants.
