Artist's Perspective:

Jill Austin blends natural materials and hand built ceramics with the gentle healing energy of Reiki attuned crystals, to create mostly intuitive, elemental mixed media artworks. The opening words on her website, www.Art2Enchant.co.uk put it succinctly: Spirit Manifest; art for contemplation, for healing, for pleasure.

An artist, not technician, her work is flowing, sculptural, naturally inspired. As Leonardo Da Vinci said, "When the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art". Bernard Leach, influential ceramicist, believed work should speak to the soul. Jill's fusion walks the path of these ideals, drawing you in, enchanting you, or so she has been told.

Form is her prerequisite, glaze, specialised ceramic media and natural elements like shells far more than simple 'icing on the cake'. The play of space and light are core considerations. The starting point is commonly a shamanic journey into 'non-ordinary reality'. The muse takes the creative lead - or plain takes over - more often than the designer. Each piece comes with the story of its making, which may include a poem or something about its purpose, be that a commission or completed work you can buy from a gallery, exhibition or via her website.
