When discussing her career journey to date, @nicolette__johnson shared that she always knew her heart was with art. 🎨✨
"I always wanted to do something artistic. In high school I thought maybe I’d do theatre, but ended up studying a Bachelor of Photography at university and working as a freelancer in that industry for a few years after graduating (while also working the odd retail job to help pay rent!)," she shared.
"In 2015, while struggling with depression and anxiety*, I decided to enrol in a weekly pottery class at my local studio in an effort to improve my mental health and learn something new. Turns out it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Pottery doesn’t cure anxiety but it sure helps! After a year or so of learning the basics I decided to change course and make pots full-time."
