Maryke Degeus was one of the many European migrants whose entry into Australia after World War Two transformed our culture. She was associated with Jon Molvig and innovative art practice in Brisbane in the 1950s and 1960s. Her intimate connections with Bali informed her art and experimentations with pottery in subsequent decades.
