Brenda McMahon - Inspirations from France


Brenda spent six weeks in Vallauris, France in the summer of 2024 doing a ceramic residency. The purpose of a residency is to explore ideas that have been sitting dormant, waiting for nourishment to take form.

Vallauris is where Pablo Picasso, in the 1950โ€™s, set up a ceramic studio and lived and worked for nine years. It is a famous ceramic European town, the perfect bed for the seeds of inspiration to be sown.

This new sculptural work, โ€˜The Seeds of Inspirationโ€™ is from Brendaโ€™s summer creative explorations. It is a beginning, not an end. Over time the seeds will grow. The alchemy of art will transform as it reveals what the artistโ€™s mind sees and feels.
