Griffin has been working with ceramics for seven years, the last four years dedicated full-time to their practice and community art facilitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey have been awarded multiple regional and state grants for their arts practice for research and development of bodies of work. Griffin is a two-time finalist in the North Queensland Ceramic Awards, has exhibited throughout Queensland, and since their first large-scale solo show at Umbrella Gallery Contemporary Arts in 2024, has secured two residencies: Burnt Dirt (NSW) and La Wayaka Current (Chile).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255); font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.beansproutstudio.com.au\/\"\u003eWebsite\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bayleegriffin.com\/about\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wintera.com.au\/\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255); font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wintera.com.au\/\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255); font-size: 13px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beansproutstudio_\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255); font-size: 13px;\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/2206\/8795\/files\/Baylee_Griffin_-_Ode_-_to_Gwyn_-_Interactive_Roomsheet.pdf?v=1754021306\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView the interactive catalogue here for easier artwork identification and purchase\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote: All available-for-purchase artworks featured in \u003cem\u003eOde - to Gwyn\u003c\/em\u003e exhibition can be collected at the end of September.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/2206\/8795\/files\/Photo_of_Baylee_Griffin_2024._Photography_by_Megan_Marano_480x480.jpg?v=1753062940\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/2206\/8795\/files\/Rusted_clay_collection_2025_Baylee_Griffin._Wheel_thrown_stoneware_glaze_and_oxide_decoration._Photography_by_Baylee_Griffin_-_A_480x480.jpg?v=1753062927\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage Credits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePhoto of Baylee Griffin, 2024.
