About the Artist
One might see echos of my BFA in Fashion Design in my pottery. Clay and Fabric have much in common when used as a blank slate. Clay can be rolled flat, templates cut, and a 2D form is suddenly a teapot or vase, much like a garment. When paint is applied, the form really comes to life, further mimicking fabrics. During the lockdown, I took an online teapot making class, and my love for pottery was awakened after a decade long detour. In my portfolio, the Green and Pink Bauhaus-shaped Tea Set allowed me to express my aesthetic in a fascinating new way. Nothing had to match but the color, every surface had it own unique surface design, including the teacups. The Pure White Porcelain clay body and high gloss shine, gives a striking contrast to the dark green free hand painted abstract floral motifs. Since the class, I’ve explored other forms of surface design, and have found a unique aesthetic with inspiration from Morocco and the colorful Zellige tiles. You have best success when you do what you love, and get inspired with your core loves, and mine just happened to be the geometry of Zellige & Islamic Art. Curved archways, geometric freehand, and a unique color palate give me endless possibilities to explore.
