Born in Cronulla and currently residing in the serene coastal town of Bundeena, nestled within the Sydney Royal National Park, Casey St John is a visionary ceramic artist.

Casey's experiences as a Jillaroo and her seven years traversing Australia's outback have profoundly influenced her practice. The solitude of the vast landscapes, camping under starlit skies, working as a full-time Sheep Shearer & the sudden loss of her father in 2018 have fostered the beginnings of a rich spiritual connection & awareness that informs her artistic expression & practice with clay.

 A finalist among 1300 applicants for the National Emerging Art Prize 2024 and recipient of the ‘Award of Highest Excellence’ upon completing her Diploma in Ceramics in 2019, Casey's work resonates with themes of spiritual and natural beauty, balance, and the magical connections that bind us to the divine.

Her hand-formed, coil-built vessels & sculptures draw inspiration from many sources- like the Art Nouveau era & ancient Egypt. Casey designs custom sprig reliefs to adorn most of her ornate vessels. These decorative elements are deeply enriched by Casey’s in-depth studies of American Indian Pottery designs and culture, Egyptian motifs and architecture, early classical art, and the beauty of nature.

Casey invites you to explore a realm through her ceramics where beauty, emotion, and physical form intertwine, creating a space for reflection and connection with the natural world.
