Georgia Zoric

Georgia Zoric is a ceramic artist living and working in Busselton, Western Australia.

Starting her journey with clay in mid 2019, Georgia pulled on knowledge gained from a lifetime spent in creative pursuits including painting, sculpture, drawing and mosaics and a formal education in graphic design specialising in Illustration.

Her sculptures and her functional ware both draw on the theme of ‘Ocean’ that has been a constant backdrop in Georgias life, and are hand built using a variety of traditional techniques and tools, and enhanced with matt hand mixed glazes and commercial underglazes.

In addition to the influence of the sea, Georgia draws inspiration from her deep and enduring love of children's literature and illustration. Her characters, with their wind swept beards and smoking pipes seem to have dragged themselves straight from the pages of a Herman Melville novel, and her bottles and cups could have been salvaged after centuries spent shipwrecked under the waves.

Her functional ware can already be found on the shelves of her favourite West Australian owned stores Remedy and Morrison.

This will be Georgia's first time exhibiting in the MRROS.
