Based in Eltham, in Melbourne’s north-east, Linda De Toma is an accomplished ceramic artist whose practice encompasses both functional and sculptural forms. Renowned for her refined porcelain collections, Linda creates timeless pieces inspired by the textures, colours and rhythms of the natural world surrounding her. Signature motifs, including sand textures and poppies, reflect her deep connection to the local landscape, while her latest collection of teapots, vases and bowls is distinguished by delicately hand-painted ginkgo leaf designs.
For more than two decades, Linda has developed a respected exhibition practice, with her work featured in galleries and exhibitions across Australia. Her ceramics are held in the collection of the Nillumbik Shire Council, as well as in numerous private collections, reflecting a career defined by craftsmanship, creativity and an enduring appreciation of the handmade.
