Julia Jalowiec
Julia Jalowiec is Texas born artist. She graduated from Southern Methodist University with a BFA in
studio art and a minor in art history. During an art fellowship, Julia travelled to Paris where she studied
both art and French. Her time there furthered her idea of the “larger community”. She often addresses
what it means to deal with the lines of relationship whether defined by socio-political constructs or
more personal in nature. A life filled with illness and loss has deeply impacted her work, evident in
reflections of mortality throughout. She has shown at SITE131 in Dallas, the Amarillo Museum of Art,
and continues to work on large scale collaborative pieces with other local artists. Most recently, she was named Mercedes-Benz Financial Emerging Artist.
Artist Statement
Growing up, I'd sit outside for hours in my backyard. I'd dig Texas clay out of the ground and make the
friends I’d dream up. By the age of seven, my bedroom shelves were filled with dried clay people and
puppies; some of which I still have. Now I’m lucky enough to get to use materials like cast iron and fired ceramic. Other than that, I’m pretty much the same
