Our Story

We are three artists shaped by a shared landscape.

Itta studied stone as science, mapping the ancient volcanic forces that formed the earth.
Samantha collects stones, holding them like memory, reminders of place, weight, and quiet presence.
Shay is drawn to paint boulders, rock faces, and the great guardian of our region, Hanging Rock, capturing the uniqueness of the land.

Together, we form LITHIC.

We are drawn to what endures.
To the stories held in stone.
To the way earth remembers what we forget.

Our work is contemporary and diverse, but it meets in this truth:
The ground beneath us shapes us.

In our studios across the Macedon Ranges, we create from the slow time of earth and the quick time of the human heart.
Textures, pigments, marks, and forms echo the ridges, escarpments, sediments, and spirits of this ancient volcanic country.

We invite you to stand here with us,
to feel the weight of the land,
the tenderness of touch,
and the quiet pull of home.

LITHIC
Of earth.
Of mark.
Of meaning.
