About the Artist
Julie Moon is a Toronto-based ceramic artist. Her practice is rooted in art and sculpture, but also focused on commercial projects that include a line of ceramic jewellery, pipes, and pottery.
Before she began her professional art practice, Moon spent over a decade working in Toronto’s garment industry. She later enrolled in the Fibre Arts Program at the Ontario College of Art and Design. As an undergraduate, she fell in love with clay, where she continued to be inspired by the language of ornament, tactile media, and the human figure. In 2010, Moon graduated from the MFA program at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.
Since completing her studies, Moon has participated in numerous artist residency programs, including at The Ceramic Art Center in Berlin; Anderson Ranch Art Center; Archie Bray Foundation; and a four year residency at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia. She has exhibited widely across the US and Canada, including at MASS Gallery in Austin, Texas; the Philadelphia Art Fair; and The Society for Contemporary Craft and the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Within Canada, Moon is represented by Birch Contemporary in Toronto.
