ABOUT

Julie Miller has enjoyed exploring the woods for as long as she can remember. She searches among the delightfully endless variety of leaves for design elements. “The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.” (from Revelation 22:2)  Julie gravitates toward leaves because of the restoration and joy which often come from being outside in God’s creation. “The creator . . . churns out the intricate texture of least works that is the world with a spendthrift genius and an extravagance of care.” (from “Pilgrim At Tinker Creek,” by Annie Dillard) Her pieces are primarily thrown stoneware, fired in an electric oxidation atmosphere. She uses various techniques to decorate with leaves, oxides, underglazes and glazes.

Julie holds a BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design, and has worked as an illustrator and art instructor. She is a freelance artist and participates in juried art fairs. She is represented by the Hudson Gallery in Sylvania, Ohio, and the Hayley Gallery in New Albany, Ohio. She has work at 12 Lincoln Street (part of the Sharon Weiss Gallery Family) in Columbus, Ohio, the Ohio Craft Museum Gift Shop, and the Bella Moxie Company in Medina, Ohio.
