Timeless Botanicals and Gifts
🌟
Working from a home studio in Karrinyup, Anna transforms once-loved pots, jars and ceramic vessels into beautifully textured, modern rustic pieces. Every vessel is individually handcrafted, giving forgotten objects a new story and purpose.

Inspired by the Wabi-sabi philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection, each piece is carefully layered and finished using a signature texturing technique developed through months of experimentation. No two vessels are ever the same, each one full of quiet character and timeless appeal.

Congratulations to Amanda Forward Studio a.f
A huge congratulations to Geraldton‑based artist Amanda Forward on winning the Portraits Award at the prestigious Cossack Art Awards. Her winning oil painting, The Shapes We Keep, is a powerful exploration of generational inheritance and identity — a beautifully considered work now recognised at one of Australia’s most significant regional art prizes.

Amanda is a highly accomplished, self‑taught painter whose practice spans oil on canvas, ceramics, and film. Working from her studio gallery in Geraldton, she continues to push her craft with depth, emotion, and technical mastery. In addition to this year’s win, she was awarded a Highly Commended honour at the Cossack Art Awards in 2023.

We’re incredibly proud to represent Amanda here at The Artisan Store Fremantle, and to share her work with our community of collectors and art lovers.

✨ The Cossack Art Awards exhibition is currently running in the Pilbara — a wonderful opportunity to experience her winning piece in person.

🎨 Did you know this about Ben?

🌊Before he was known for his incredible Western Australian landscapes, artist Ben Sherar sent a collection of dragon paintings to a major publisher at age 11—fully expecting to be hired on the spot! From his childhood roots drawing on the floor in Kununurra to setting up his studio inside the historic Fremantle Town Hall, Ben's journey as a self-taught oil painter is full of fascinating twists.
Oh, and if he wasn't holding a paintbrush, he might just be a wealthy property developer shopping for yachts—but his love for the smell of oil paint changed everything!
We sat down with "Mr. Fremantle" himself to dive deep into his creative process, his wild plein-air adventures, and his secret obsession with backyard aquaponics.

Collectors offer coming soon!
