Artist Bio
Loren Utterson
Loren Utterson’s ceramics incorporate mixed media such as acrylics, glitter glue, and non-traditional materials in order to reject the conservative techniques of the medium. She uses her bright, playfully-coloured ceramics to explore and connect to childhood memories of play, and to disconnect from the mundane elements of everyday life.
Loren’s mother and grandmother are both painters. As a young child, Loren’s mother would allow her to assist with making colour swatches and other arts activities. During school holidays, she experienced numerous artistic activities, from painting to candle making. These experiences continue to inform Loren’s practice.
Born in Sydney, Australia, Loren grew up between Newcastle and Sydney. She has completed an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts majoring in Ceramics at The National Art School, Darlinghurst. She is currently studying at Australian Catholic University to acquire her Masters of Education. Her work has been included in several group exhibitions, notably Clay where we came from, Bondi Pavilion Gallery, 2017
"Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent, and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play"
