Torn Tier Vase | Cream Lichen

Nathalee Paolinelli is a multidisciplinary artist whose ceramic work emerges from a background in painting and sculpture. Of Italian and Indigenous heritage, she draws on this dual lineage to inform a practice rooted in intuition, imperfection, and expressive form.

Her pieces blur the line between art and function. Sculptural, one-of-a-kind works that capture movement, gravity, and chance within their forms. Through the rhythmic acts of rolling, shaping, and painting, Nathalee invites collaboration with the elements, allowing glaze drips, slips, and texture to express their own quiet poetry.

Each piece holds a conversation between artist and material, existing in the delicate balance between control and release. Designed to be lived with, her ceramics evoke the beauty of imperfection and the profound grace found in everyday use.
