Danika Vautour is a Canadian visual artist who has been working as a ceramist for the past 9 years.

Having completed her studies at the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design, she has a strong foundation in fine craft ceramics, as well as photography, drawing, and painting. In a world with many distractions, her work is profoundly influenced by minimalism and a life lived by the sea.

Over the years, she has had the privilege of participating in numerous exhibitions and collaborations both nationally and internationally and has been graciously recognised by her peers through various accolades. For a brief period of time, she lived in England where she immersed herself in the local ceramics community, which served as a source of inspiration and a platform for her to refine and teach her craft.

Since returning to New Brunswick, she has continued to establish herself as a full-time artist and has been involved with the local arts community. By leveraging her experience, she aims to foster artistic growth and community engagement across the province.

She enjoys producing work that plays with abstracted ideas that highlight the simple, yet beautiful characteristics found in nature that are often overlooked. By incorporating these elements into her work, she hopes to bring that sense of calmness into the spaces they inhabit.

When she’s not in the midst of organizing community events, she can be found exploring creatively and developing her portfolio.
