Artist Notes

Stephanie Phillips is a ceramic artist from Sydney, Australia.

She draws strong influence in her artistic direction from both of her grandmothers. Her paternal grandmother was a Russian immigrant who was a talented artist and craftswoman, while her maternal grandmother was involved in the establishment of The Crommelin Native Arboretum at Pearl Beach, NSW, where Stephanie has spent many weekends and holidays since childhood.

Stephanie studied glass arts at Sydney College of the Arts and fabric design and printing at East Sydney Tech before finding her true calling in ceramics. She has studied ceramics at various institutes including Gymea Tafe. Her resume includes visual merchandising, set dressing and styling.

In September 2019 Stephanie was invited to exhibit at 1000 Vases in Paris during design week. It was there that French fashion designer Jacqemus discovered her work and purchased all of her pieces from the exhibition to place in his restaurant Oursin on the Champs Élysées.

Stephanie's influences include Barbara Hepworth, Ruth Duckworth, Salvatore Fiume, Valentine Schlegel & Sonia Ferlov Mancoba amongst others.
