Kristin Kay

Kristen Kay was originally from Auckland but migrated up to Whangarei around 2001.  There  she studied visual arts and obtained a bachelor degree specialising in ceramics.

Her sculptural works are often very different from each other as she likes  to explore many ideas and overcome and learn from the technical challenges.

Her pieces tend to resonate with human behaviours in which the art almost creates itself, becoming unusual creatures telling their unique story. Her purpose is to instil wonder and humour that creates a silent conversation between the viewer and the art, many to whom can resonate with.

You will also see her functional pieces, tableware, small and large dishes, marine wall hangings. She has always been drawn to producing handmade functional ware. Many unique and unreplaceable in slight ways.
