Elena Strohfeldt is an Australian ceramicist based in Melbourne. She is self-taught and started working with ceramics in 2020, as a way to work through her anxiety during the lockdown.

The outside world guides her art. What triggers her creativity could be as small as a flower or as big as a building. She never begins with a vision in mind, she lets her emotions and hands guide her through the process. That is when the magic happens. The clay is her way of telling a story. Her dream is to wake up every day and do what she loves: ceramics.
