Vicki is a primarily ceramic artist. Creating functional and sculptural pieces, she is drawn to the order and the chaos of the creative process. Her practice is driven by colour, curiosity, and a slightly obsessive need to make.
Creating colourful, whimsical work - sculptural vases echo the curves of the female body, while mermaids, pegasus, and other dreamlike figures appear throughout. Vibrant and pastel tones sit side by side on tableware made to be used and held, while ceramic donuts and cupcakes bring play into familiar forms. Together, these elements create work that feels playful, slightly surreal, and grounded in instinct rather than rigid planning.
Based along the coast, her surroundings play a quiet but consistent role in the work. The ocean, shifting light, and textures of the shoreline feed into her visual language, particularly in her recurring references to mermaids and other ocean-inspired forms. These elements appear naturally, sitting alongside influences drawn from the human form and internal, imaginative worlds.
Working through both hand-building and slipcasting, Vicki keeps her process open and responsive. She allows forms to develop through making, leaving space for variation and small shifts, letting the elements of chaos and spontaneity guide.
Making is a constant in her practice. It is not occasional, but ongoing, something she returns to daily. This consistency shapes both the work itself and the way ideas take form over time.
She also works across painting, printmaking and textiles where the themes of colour, mythology and whimsy are still the main characters.
