Julia Galloway likes to show uniqueness and include everyday objects we see. As you can see above in her pottery, she likes to paint on the pottery nature. Even the way she displays the pottery is something she likes to look at and incorporate and think about. She wants the observer to understand what she was thinking about and what she was striving for while she was creating the pottery. She makes the pottery out of porcelain clay. She likes this clay because of the softness and how easy it is to form the shapes she wants from it. She also likes how tough it is once it has been fired. She believes that by using this clay it represents the nature look she is going for when she creates her works of art.
