Pia is a contemporary artist based in the southern suburbs of Adelaide. She works full-time from her backyard studio, nestled within a flourishing garden. Born and raised in Adelaide, she lived abroad before returning home to pursue a creative life that weaves together her love of nature, art and memory.

Originally trained and working as a successful landscape designer, Pia has a deep connection to gardens that traces back to childhood. One of her earliest and most formative influences was her great-aunt's cottage garden, an enchanting space alive with colour, scent and story. Pia has long used plants to make meaning and beauty from her surroundings.

Pia's vibrant floral still lifes and nostalgic ceramic pieces are rich with memory and rooted in place. The painting and ceramics reference and inspire one another. The two threads of her creative practice are in constant conversation. Familiar domestic objects, teacups, platters and vases appear frequently in her work, not as props, but as vessels of story and connection. Her paintings and ceramics are highly tactile; each piece carries visible evidence of its making. Marks are left intentionally, brushstrokes, impressions and textures that allow the viewer to read the work's history.

Bold, bright and rhythmic, Pia builds her paintings and ceramics through layers of intuitive mark-making. Each piece is shaped by a process of adding and then pruning, mirroring the gestures of gardening. The result is work that speaks to the comfort, beauty and quiet drama of home. Pia invites viewers to see her pieces not just as artworks but as future heirloom objects that hold memories.
