Lustre Animal Cup

After graduating from the University of South Australia in 2011 Smiles received an Arts SA funded mentorship with Melbourne based ceramicist Vipoo Srivilasa. The following year she became an associate at the Jam Factory where she met the co-founders of studio and retail space 6 Hands Studio. In 2015 she travelled to Korea and spent 5 weeks participating in a mentorship and cultural exchange program, culminating in the exhibition “Beyond Limitations” shown at the Clayarch Museum in Gimhae. Smiles’ artwork can be found in public and private collections locally and internationally.
