Marita Green // New Plymouth, New Zealand

It could have been 5 years ago that I met this incredible woman. We clicked immediately and our little ‘love’ story of a friendship is still going strong. Watching her grow as an artist is both inspiring and contagious. Marita Green dips her toe into a medium and the next thing you know her whole being is enveloped.

When we met she was who I called ‘The Doll Mamacita’. By hand she sculpted porcelain dolls and created a shrine for them to sit in. They were completely functioning dolls – swivel heads, waving arms and kicking legs. Just stunning. Now, she has shifted gears and is making porcelain and ceramic homewares.

At the end of this month Marita will be exhibiting her works in a show titled: ‘becoming Apart’ at KINA Design + Art Space in New Plymouth. She will be showcasing her 100 days project as well as some new sculptural pieces.

Below you can take a look at some images of Marita in her home studio creating. Enjoy!
