Merilyn Wiseman (New Zealand) ceramics

New Zealand potter Merilyn Wiseman (1941-2019) completed her Preliminary Diploma at the Elam School of Art in Auckland in 1959 and went on to obtain a National Diploma in design from Goldsmiths School of Art in London in 1963, followed by an Art Specialist Teachers Diploma the subsequent year. Wiseman embarked on her professional journey as a ceramicist in the mid-1970s, driven by her fascination with clay, which was kindled during a working holiday at a small pottery in Ireland. Upon returning to New Zealand, she constructed a wood-fired kiln near Albany in 1976.

Initially influenced by the prevalent interest in Japanese ceramics in New Zealand during that period, Merilyn Wiseman swiftly developed her distinct artistic style. Her later creations were characterized by organic, alluring forms inspired by nature, complemented by an array of colours she meticulously blended in her glazes to suit her artistic vision more... .

Wiseman's remarkable contributions were acknowledged through various honours and awards. In 2002, her exceptional work titled "Pacific Rim" was featured in the 'Art Meets Craft' stamp collection, a special collaboration between New Zealand Post and Sweden Post. Additionally, she received the prestigious Arts Foundation of New Zealand Laureate Award in 2007. Further accolades include the Premier Award at the Fletcher Challenge Pottery Awards in 1984 and the Premier Award at the Portage Ceramic Awards in 2005. The QEII Arts Council also acknowledged her talents by granting her three creative development grants.

Merilyn Wiseman's artistic legacy is preserved in esteemed institutions such as the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the Christchurch Art Gallery, The Dowse Art Museum, Auckland War Memorial Museum, Canterbury Museum, and Taipei Fine Arts Museum. less...
