Story Vessel Artist - Cheetham Ward

Originally from Geelong, this Surf Coast artist creates distinctive metalwork sculptures. Inspired by her natural environment, Cinnamon enjoys incorporating flowing lines, spirals, copper embellishment and a touch of whimsy to her creations. Successfully living from her artwork for close to 20 years, Cinnamon has experienced many facets of the artworld by producing a cultural newsletter for 11 years, reviewing art exhibitions for the Geelong Advertiser, owning an art gallery for 2 1/2 years, encouraging emerging artists, and artistically collaborating with communities and schools.

"I am looking forward to working with the inspiration gleaned from my designated community of Cheetham, and creating a story vessel to be utilised in the mouth to mountain project 2009." Cinnamon Stephens
