Gold Coast based artist Megan Puls is widely exhibited, highly awarded and is one of Australia’s most successful ceramic artists. While working as a professional ceremacist she also teaches her craft. Puls was named as one of seven ceramic artists to represent her country in an exhibition entitled “Omnus -Terra” in the USA. Inspired by the natural landscape of the Gold Coast, particularly the native wetlands, she is constantly creating and experimenting with her medium (1).
The shapes of Puls' works echo the organic beauty and complexity of the ecosystem, telling the story of birdlife, ocean waves and sand creatures. Her ceramics explore environmental themes such as water conservation and soil strata. Puls utilises the combination of different clays and found objects to represent the connection between flora and fauna in the tidal zone (2).
