Megan White's art: Ocean creatures inspire ceramics

As a Kenyan-British ceramic artist, Megan White launches a powerful conversation about finding beauty in the unconventional and resilience in nature. While she is inspired by delicate ecosystems like coral reefs, she is equally captivated by the harsh, often overlooked textures of the ocean floor and its inhabitants. By focusing on creatures like crabs and lobsters, Megan White challenges our perceptions of beauty. Through her masterful use of glazes and colors, she transforms these subjects into stunning pieces that highlight the nature's enduring strength and inspire a deeper appreciation for the world around us.

Her artistic journey led her to Jingdezhen, the global hub of ceramics, where she embraced a philosophy of harmony with nature. Megan White's pieces serve as a reminder that no matter what we create, it will always be connected to nature, a force that is both resilient and accepting.
