“I like to celebrate the mundane and draw inspiration from the everyday. It is probably the playfulness and the sense of the fun that people respond to most in my work. It’s bound to put a smile on your dial.” – Ann-Maree Gentile
Ann-Maree Gentile specialises in joyful, whimsical one-off clay sculptures. But it’s not all clay!! Often Ann-Maree is inspired to create works from whatever is on hand, recycling and playing with different materials such as metal off-cuts, wire, broken tiles and glass. Her artwork has a strong ‘pop’ influence with many re-occurring themes and icons. Recently relocating from Melbourne to South Gippsland, Victoria, Ann-Maree is currently in the process of establishing her new studio space in the charming town of Foster.
