Lean into Shellie’s work and you can sense the still, softness of nature. Each artwork captures the movement of wings, the gentle breath of leaves or a fresh summer breeze. Touch the burly boughs and elemental etchings and you get a sense of the natural aura of Shellie’s intuitively organic ceramics.

With a deep appreciation of its functioning, the love, care, protection, and unbiased compassion found in nature are lyrically imprinted in each ceramic object, the plants and people of Shellie’s world flowing fluently into the work.

From the moment Shellie’s hands first held clay, she hasn’t stopped making, experimenting, learning, discovering and testing. She loves the diversity of clay and the possibilities it offers. The excitement of how the clay responds to her touch and the movement she can obtain from it are magnetic.

Her evolution as a ceramic artist is a journey illustrated by creativity. She has always crafted with her hands, before I stumbled on the local Potters Society. And in that very first meeting with clay, a soul connection was ignited.

Over the next five years, I studied my statement of attainment, diploma and advanced diploma in Visual Arts at TAFE, always sculpting, shaping and sharing my wonder at nature’s beauty in each piece she makes.
