My fav pottery artist

Today I'm going to talk to you about who I think is one of the most amazing artist in the world, I am talking about Shelby Sherritt. She is a young Australian ceramic artist, who has her own brand and is a strong influencer in the ceramic world.

Shelby is famous for her charismatic personality, she transmit happiness with her cute creations and videos, on where she shows the main techniques she use for work clay, these are slip casting and pottery wheel. The principally cause that i admire her is because she is a caritative person, because she donate the 5% of her earnings to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy(AWC), which is a foundation in charge of the protection of the Australian natives species.

I don't know much about her personal life , but i know she live in Ballarat Australia, is a cancer survivor, on fact, was when she was diagnosticated when she get full involved in ceramic, in social medias she says this was her safe place in these difficult times.Now she is a healthy person who promove and teach pottery techniques in her website and Instagram account @shelby.sherritt, on where sherritt sells her art to almost the world.

5: Why I love art

About art

For me the art surge like the necessity of representing an individual interpretation of a reality, and it has been practiced since the paleolithic era, before the creation of the escriture people thought was necessary a type of expression and registry of their style of life.

I think the existence of art is important because if it weren't for this we wouldn't know the history of humanity, because actually we wouldn't get any good registry of the past generations. Since, although there exist writings which relate the style of life from some old civilizations, the pictures and sculptures are usually more descriptive than a text, because sometimes we need to describe our reality in more than words.

  How i said in the past posts, i'm a visual artist and more specifically, i am a pottery artist,  but i have others artistic abilities too, like draw and paint , i enjoys so much what i made because art for me mean a total liberation, and a safe space on where i can express all my feelings, for that i would love to compart some pictures of my works with you dear lector, which you would see at continuation.

Although i have confidence on my art projects, i haven’t participate in any competitions, because i think competition don't stimulate the creativity, this only increase ego,the comparison between artists and insecurity in their work or overconfidence in it.The Competition, i think, brings jealous between artist, when in their place should exist admiration admiration for their art colleagues, because everyone have a different perspective of the art, and of course a different execution of them, you can’t only compare them and define a winer, because in art all are winners.

      

  i love any type of art expression, since the cave art to the contemporary, but i would say the street art is one of my favourites of all, because it is nothing pretentious, like, of course, graffiti which is one of the most vanguardist types of art , because it isn’t restricted by the academy, doesn't need any museum for expose and it have a totally free technique. Now though, one of my favourites techniques in the whole world is pottery, because I love the idea of create a piece of art from something so humble like the mud is. One of my favourites referents in this area is Shelby Sherritt, who is an amazing creator of her brand of pottery, on which she makes the cutest pieces of ceramic, as you can see in the next photo.

Hi everyone, today I'm going to talk about my favorite meal, which is the zucchini stew.This is an original Italian recipe of a vegetable saute, that I took and adapted to a veggie version, changed the meat for soy protein, because I'm a veggie person, and because I'm a fussy eater too, I changed some ingredients like the red pepper for tomato.
