"Deana Lee is a fresh new ceramic artist who has an amazing ability to create large forms with strong round profiles and movement. When she was working with me she showed a remarkable understanding of large three-dimensional forms. In her own work she is developing smaller versions of a smooth simple aesthetic which responds well to the unpredictable effects of smoke firing. These pieces can be assembled to form extraordinary large shapes combining the formality of geometry and the organic quality of fire."
Sandy Brown, Ceramic Installation Artist

"Deana Lee is a thoroughly skilled and reliable character to work with. She has worked with me on two 'firing projects' now and on both occassions been an excellent team member to have. She has demonstrated herself to be highly capable with modelling and constructing with clay, and has a broad knowledge of the demands of the firing process, specifically with gas. Add to this Deana's calm, thoughtful and good humoured temperament and she has the makings of a high calibre artist."
Tom Barnett, Ceramic Artist


"Elegant and original pieces."

“Papagayo, one of Deana Lee's first pieces of artwork, is a feature in my entrance hall and looks wonderful lit up at night, as evidenced by the comments from my guests. I also am the proud owner of one of her early coil pots. I love her current creations as they are so very tactile and unusual in their shapes and surface decoration, and I will continue to collect her work.”

“Our wall art was commissioned specifically for us to represent our marriage; it's an abstract form of a yacht made from two separate pieces that combined into one and are sailing forth into the unknown. The smoked surface is stunning and has such movement that we never tire of looking at it, as we see something new each time.”
Carline & Ian Mather

“Two pieces from Deana Lee’s Sun Exploration installation was a wedding present and has pride of place in our new home. We love the sinuous lines, sail-like shape and we are amazed at how the piece can come across as metal or bone depending on the light and time of day. The surface decoration she has created are earthy yet it has some strong fragments and every time we look at our piece of artwork we see something new and beautiful. It’s a stunning piece that we treasure.”
