[1] Julia Galloway was raised in Boston, Massachusetts and started throwing pots in high school, buying her first wheel with babysitting money.
[4] Many of her pieces have an erotic theme with their folds, curves, and bulges, and touch is reemphasized and reinforced by lush, juicy, drippy and wet glazes.
[4] Early in her career, she was recognized for making pottery that carries a sense of lyricism and engenders joyous and pleasurable experiences in their use.
To Galloway, beauty is as valid as function, and she looks for making pottery that is "joyous to use and decorates" living spaces with "character and elegance".
[3] Julia Galloway work has been published in Ceramics Monthly, Studio Potter, Art and Perception and Clay Times.
[citation needed] In 2017, upon hearing a story of albatross getting caught and killed in fishing lines, Galloway began featuring endangered, threatened, and extinct species on her pottery, buy creating over 1000 urns.
