Originally from Malaysia Jocelyn Hee came to live in Australia as an 11year old. She is now a ceramic artist working from her studio in Melbourne, her inspirations often being influenced by the multiplicity of her heritage cultures. She is enamoured by imaginative whimsical creations: cute, pretty things in cheerful bright colours. She is fascinated by garden sculptures, for she loves unexpected things poking out of a garden - a magic mushroom, a fairy or sprite; she is inspired by the mysteries of the woods and forests. Her current work is mainly in earthenware, slips and underglazes. Apart from garden sculptures, she makes jewellery and wearable art as well as functional but beautiful wares like bowls, cups, pots and spoons.

Jocelyn wrote a poem inspired by the reflection behind her recent sculpture for the MIFGS Exhibition, that appeared like a full moon:
"Beneath the silvery moon lit night,
there I slept and dreamt,
that my little feathered friend came back
and sat by my side ALL through the night.
 |
| He watches over me (unfired at the time of the image) |
But when morning’s first light appeared
He quietly took flight and disappeared,
For when I awoke he was no longer by my side,
Just a soft breeze and a light blue feather falling gently right before my sight"
