WELL Hello There!

Hi! My name is Katrina Piercy. I am an Australian artist now located in Greenville, SC. I grew up drawing 24/7 on every surface I could find. Paper, canvas, school books, walls… Drawing has always been a passion, no, an obsession of mine. It’s where I go to process my day or dream about the future.

In 2014 I found myself in a college pottery class and instantly fell in love with the medium. In December 2018 I opened up my business, Meraki Pottery, and began by hand drawing cities from all over the world on porcelain mugs. Some are places I’ve been, others are places I dream of going. I love traveling and experiencing other cultures. One of the reasons I draw cities is because they represent diversity. I love hearing from you all and finding out what different places mean to you!

A lot of my work is inspired by my childhood in Australia and my life since leaving home. I hope to share parts of my story and the beauty of my country with you all through my work.

I love rainy days, photography, and running! In my spare time I like to get coffee with my husband, Stephen.
