As a ceramic artist, Josephine has been pursuing her passion for the visual arts over the past six years. Prior to this, she had a career in education as a classroom music teacher from 2007 to 2015. She grew up in a community of artists in South Australia and now draws inspiration from her exposure to their artistic practices.
Josephine started exploring the hand-building technique of coiling while she was with her family in a remote South Australian coastal settlement during Covid in 2020. Now, she creates sculptural pieces at her Melbourne home studio.
Juxtaposed with these stone-like vessels, are more delicate wheel-thrown pieces. She sees these pieces as a canvas on which to paint in a style inspired by her children’s early abstract artwork.
Over the last four years Josephine has been exhibiting in group shows throughout Victoria and South Australia.
