Discover Ceramics

Community and the arts go hand in hand. In the Blue Mountains I am lucky to be part of a strong artistic prescence, surrounded by creatives from all genres. #MtnsMade provides a community for artists and creatives and is supported by the Blue Mountains City Council. My work was featured in thier first publication along with a range of fellow ceramic artists across the Blue Mountains. Chuffed to be on the same page as legends such as Robert Linigen, Susie McMeekin and Simon Reece.

I have been teaching for over 30 years. I am delighted that as my skills grow in my sculptural ceramic experiences, I see rewards in my teaching job as well. This Body of Work is an incredible result of dedication, hard work and a student who took on feedback and continued to evolve her explorations in ceramic forms. She responded to her culture in a beautiful way, laying down stories of women's business in clay. Abby worked so hard and the results paid off. Her work can be seen at the 2026 Art Express exhibitions at teh Hawkesbury, Maitland and Broken Hill Regional Galleries along with Virtual Art Express to continue to inspire students in future years.

I was honoured to be awarded the Blue Mountains Art Prize for this sweet little sculpture. The Blue Mountains Art Centre (BMCAC) are a not-for-profit community group that occupy a fabulous gallery and workshop spaces at Glenbrook. Supported by volunteers and a dedicated and creative Art committee and patrons. Their yearly prize always has such a variety of works that honour both 2D and 3D forms.
