IronIvy

Started in 2019, Iron Ivy was born from passion for beautiful life long objects and a love of nature. Kealey Bacic is the designer and creator of each piece Iron Ivy creates.

Kealey is a plant obsessed horticulturist, designer and artist. When not burying her hands in a pot of dirt she's getting herself covered in metal dust and paint. Iron Ivy designs are thought up while pottering in the garden, brought to life in a big tin shed and tried and tested on her plants at home.

Kealey’s background is in the Arts. She obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Sculpture from the National Art School in Sydney and worked within the Australian design scene for many years. What started out as drawing and collecting odd or intriguing sticks and foliage while on a bush walk became a lifelong art practice of exploring the elements of nature.

An interest in exploring the natural world led Kealey to study Horticulture formally, where she was well and truely bitten by the plant collecting bug and has acquired over 200 plants which she says teaches her patience and inspire her every day.
