Tatyanna Meharry
Tatyanna Meharry’s grandmother was Doris Lusk, one of New Zealand’s pioneer potters, a landscape painter and life drawing teacher. Lusk was a mentor to Tatyanna during her childhood. Lusk’s influence, and being constantly surrounded by creativity from such a young age, played a pivotal role in Tayanna’s artistic development.
“While I’ve been working in the creative industry for as long as I can remember, it wasn’t until about 2006 that I started experimenting with pottery. Years after my grandmother passed, I felt an urge to give it a go and enrolled in a series of night classes in Christchurch and I basically became addicted to the craft from that moment on”.
Meharry is a ceramist who works from her studio in Christchurch. She is also one of the leading ceramic teachers in New Zealand. Meharry’s work is characterised by her unique vision, her sense of place and her underlying humour. She has won many awards including the Supreme Award at the World of Wearable Arts.
