Julie Fei-Fan Balzer

Artist, Author, Blogger, Podcaster, Teacher, Entrepreneur, Video & TV Host, Mom, and a Creative Explorer!


I am a maker.  My creative interests are widespread and include collage, acrylic painting, surface design, printmaking, paper engineering, jewelry making, quilting, and mixed media art.  My artwork has been exhibited, and won awards, in New York City and around the Boston area.

I am an author.  My book Carve Stamp Play was released by Interweave Press in December 2013. I have also been a contributor to multiple books including Gelli Plate Printing, Journal It, Scrapbook Workshop, and Artful Adventures in Mixed Media, among others.  I have also been a columnist or contributor to multiple magazines including having my artwork appear on several magazine covers!

I am a teacher.  I teach in-person and online classes. I also offer private one-on-one classes at my home studio.

I am a blogger, youtuber, and podcaster.  I blog about art and creativity Monday - Friday.  You can watch vlogs and art tutorial videos on my YouTube channel.  You can also listen to the "Adventures in Arting Podcast," which I host along with my Mother, Eileen Hsü-Balzer.

I am a product designer.  I license my surface design artwork. I design stencils for The Crafter's Workshop and stamps for Art Foamies. I also consult on product development. If you’re interested in working together, please reach out! 

I am a TV and video personality. I am the host of Make It Artsy on PBS.  I previously hosted Scrapbook Soup TV (PBS) and have made multiple appearances on Quilting Arts TV (PBS), Scrapbook Memories TV (PBS), and Crafting at The Spotted Canary (PBS).  You can also catch me every now and then on HSN (Home Shopping Network).  I have extensive experience as on-air talent in infomercials, product feature videos, and instructional videos.

I am Mom to an adorable little boy and we live in the Boston, MA area. I am a graduate of Brown University.
