About the Artist
I am interested in objects that offer an opportunity to make a pause in our fast paced lives as we enjoy the rituals of eating, drinking and entertaining. These rituals create a connecting point between cultures and bring us closer .
The simple lines of my pieces provide a canvas where the surface decoration process happens.I hope that my designs can invite the viewers to explore the three dimensional qualities of the pieces as their eyes move around the form, into the interior, and underneath.Each piece is an invitation to slow down and wander through the intricacies of the design while enjoying the comfort of a warm cup of tea or the smoothness of a hand pulled handle.Carving, piercing, leaf decoration, layering and resists are some of the techniques I've been exploring in this search for harmony between form and surface.
I'm inspired by nature and its patterns and drawn to its organic character, luxurious abundance and diversity. The vegetation of Brazil, my home country, is a constant source of inspiration.
My goal as a maker and what draws me to the studio is the thought of bringing moments of comfort and joy to people’s everyday life.
