He graduated from the University of Auckland, Elam School of Fine Arts, with a BFA in 1976, and presented his first solo exhibition at Barry Lett Galleries just 2 years later. Since that time Baloghy has had thirty-two solo art exhibitions in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Sydney and Melbourne. Also numerous group Art Exhibitions in New Zealand and overseas.
