In a world that often feels rigid and hurried, I find solace in the gentle curves of clay. My journey as a ceramic artist began with a fascination for how a simple lump of earth can be transformed into something both familiar and entirely new. The pear—humble, organic, and quietly elegant—became my muse.

Each piece I create is a conversation with the material. I let the clay guide me, responding to its weight, softness, and resistance. The forms that emerge are never quite the same: some are plump and whimsical, others elongated and contemplative. I’m drawn to subtle imperfections, the way a crackled surface or glossy glaze can turn a simple object into something alive with personality.

Color is my playground. I choose bold, joyful hues—sunny yellows, deep blues, vibrant pinks—not just to catch the eye, but to evoke a sense of wonder and delight. My pears are not just fruit; they are characters, each with their own story, inviting you to pause, smile, and see the world with fresh curiosity.
