Billie

This captivating ceramic sculpture, affectionately named Billie, beautifully captures the powerful and graceful essence of a female orca. Billie's form is strikingly accurate, emphasising the iconic black and white markings that define this magnificent creature. The orca's smooth, streamlined body was hand-painted with a lustrous, deep black glaze that reflects light, hinting at the water's surface and the animal's natural habitat. The contrasting creamy white patches on her belly and behind her eyes are precisely placed, enhancing her distinctive features. Her dorsal fin, gracefully curved and pointed, adds to the sense of dynamic motion, even in a static piece. Billie emanates a serene strength, an artistic homage to the "queen of the ocean."
