Collection: Devil

Devil (born Brisbane, 1962) is a Toowoomba-based master potter, abstract artist, author and heavy-metal guitarist whose creative life spans more than four decades. After early training in guitar and a formative residential apprenticeship at the Friary Pottery in Brookfield under Brother William SSF, Devil developed a distinctive practice that moves between wheel-thrown ceramics, surface decoration and expressive painting—often balancing discipline, tradition and experimentation across mediums.

His work has been widely exhibited and recognised across Australia, earning numerous awards and acquisition prizes, and is held in significant public and private collections, including the Duke of Edinburgh Art Collection and multiple Queensland institutions. In recent years, his painting and pottery have been selected for major regional exhibitions, with works acquired by the Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery, reflecting an enduring contribution to the cultural life of the Darling Downs and the broader Australian ceramics and visual arts landscape.
