Sasha Mayes

My artwork is fun, colourful, adventurous and joyful. Mostly inspired by geology, water, satellite views of the earth like glaciers and rivers, my mixed media uses fluid art to create a sense of movement with additional techniques for 3D texture and beauty.

I am a physiotherapist and believe in the power of touch and healing hands and I now hope that my creative energies will bring happiness and joy to you when you visit my studio.

In my pottery, I hand throw functional items like jugs, tea sets and mugs and hand build other things that I love, currently inspired by a diving trip to Oman, I am making coral pieces in the bright colours and textures I saw and loved underwater, in stark contrast to the beautiful but barren cliff faces, carved and sculpted by time, surrounded by azure waters and a cerulean sky.

Using paint leftover from my paintings, I design and make jewellery, key rings and magnets and you will have the opportunity to make your own if you like. This also includes miniature artworks I make into cards.

My studio is at the end of my garden where I also have ducks, chickens, cats and dogs and lots of greenery, my small oasis in suburban Richmond.
