Tania Vrancic

“Creating art is often a journey of self-discovery. I tend to make intuitively with the subtle meaning behind my work unfolding over time. My earlier works has included the investigation of women of influence through the creation of hand impressed porcelain vases based on my grandmother’s heritage and culture in Finland. My latest series of work, is reminiscent of mossy, lichen covered rocks and trees found here in Australia and my childhood home, Finland. I enjoy the challenge of working with porcelain and it’s translucency.”

In 2005, Tania Vrancic began her ceramics journey with the Canberra Potters Society.  Between 2012 and 2015, Tania attended workshops and conferences at the Australian National University School of Art. In 2012, Tania exhibited in her first group show, Back to BAC at the Belconnen Arts Centre in Canberra, Australia. In 2014, a group show, ceraMIX, FORM Gallery and Studio, NSW, Australia and a group show, Eclectika, Stur Gallery, Braidwood, NSW, Australia. In 2015, a group show, Deliniations, FORM Gallery and Studio, NSW, Australia and a group show Protean, Nishi Gallery, Canberra, Australia. In 2016, a group show, Welcoming the Light, FORM Gallery and Studio, NSW, Australia.

After five years of a successful business model of selling her ceramic works at key design markets in Canberra, she is now in a new phase of her artistic practice.  Tania’s vision is to concentrate on researching, designing and creating ceramic artworks with a view to exhibit in galleries in Canberra and beyond. In late 2017, Tania had her first solo show, Rest, at FORM Studio and Gallery. In early 2018, Tania won the peoples’ choice award in the Klytie Pate Ceramics Award, at the Arts Council Mansfield, VIC, Australia.
