Avital Sheffer grew up in Israel and lives in Australia for the past 30 years. Her life long engagement with multi-faceted Middle-Eastern history and design leads her inquiry into fundamental human concerns of materiality and spirituality, past and present, language and memory; complexities and dilemmas which she explores in her ceramic work.

Since 2004 Sheffer has had over thirty solo exhibitions in Australia, USA and the UK, including a touring exhibition held in Regional Galleries across Australia. Her work has been presented at Collect V&A, Art London, SOFA NY & Chicago, Art Paris and Lapada.
Sheffer has participated in numerous invitational group exhibitions and competitions, won several awards and been a presenter and demonstrator in conferences including a Masterclass produced in 2019 by the Australian Ceramics Association.

In 2006 and 2008 she received Australia Council grants for new work and in 2014 was awarded the Australia Council artist Residency in Barcelona for 2016.

Sheffer's works are held in public collections such as the National Gallery of Australia, Sydney Powerhouse, Atelier d'Art de France, Museo del Cántir, Argentona, Spain, Manly Art Gallery & Museum, The Jewish Museum of Australia, Regional Galleries across Australia, as well as Foundations, corporate and private collections in Australia, USA, The Middle East and Europe.
