Gillian is an artist creating and working in Melbourne. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Ceramics) at Monash University and also worked for a number of years in photography. Since recently returning to ceramics, Gillian has employed her skills to exploring variations in design, colour and materials. By incorporating terra sigillata stripes to large forms, she creates a harmonious balance that blends and highlights the undulating curves which circle the organic vessels.
Established in 2021, the National Emerging Art Prize was created to provide an annual, highly visible national platform to identify, promote and support the most promising emerging visual and ceramic artists in Australia.
