JULIA JALOWIEC opens a portal to environments and humanity through her installations. For Jalowiec, subjects and spaces exude distinct energy that is felt by the viewer and is important in the encounter of the work. Through these experiences, Julia explores the lines of relationships; whether by socio-political constructs, familial bonds, or friendship. In a life filled with her own illness and the loss of those around her, Julia’s work employs both humor and the grotesque as a way to meditate on her own mortality.

Julia Jalowiec holds a Master of Fine Arts from Columbia University in NYC where she was awarded the Helen Hartley Mead Platt Award and the Joan Sovern Award. She received her undergraduate degree from Southern Methodist University in Dallas where she was an Engaged Learning Fellow, allowing her to study art and French in Paris. In 2019, she was named a Mercedes-Benz Financial Emerging Artist and was in residence at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin. She was a 2020 Nasher Sculpture Center artist grant recipient. Her work has been exhibited at The Jewish Museum (NYC), Half Gallery (NYC), ChaShaMa (NYC), the Amarillo Museum of Art, Site131, RO2 Gallery, and Craighead Green Gallery as part of New Texas Talent.
