Mary Omalley , is a visual artist who recently graduated from Philadelphia university of the Arts. For the last few years her work has been focused on delicate porcelain dinnerware, including teapots , saucers and pitchers. In her art work she adds starfish, barnacles, sea like objects around the dinnerware to create a masterpiece. "I feel like i'm constantly walking the edge of disaster in creating these pieces." She says this to express how she feels when shes creating these gorgeous pieces of art. Omalley works in a barn on her parents property where she grew up in Long Island. Mary has already started to make a name for herself in craft circles with appearances at events such as Craft Americas Juried shows in Washington DC and Palm Beach. Mary Omalley has a website --- https://www.maryomalley.co.uk/ What makes Omalleys work so inspiring to me is that she uses sea creatures and sea objects in her work and I love going to the beach and the ocean is so fascinating to me so having a delicate structure with ocean creatures and objects is really amazing art work and I really love the outcome. What really draws me in is how the starfish and octopus arms come out of the vase and tea pots. It almost looks like titanic artifacts. I also really love the color contrast of white vase and purple creature parts. It reminds me of the little mermaid so much and that was my favorite childhood movie of all time. What also draws me in is how much I can relate to the artwork, it even almost looks like its treasure from the ocean.
