Ceramic Fine Art

---

My work is inspired by the natural world and the delicate, symbiotic exchange that allows all life to exist in perfect harmony.  True impact begins when we shift our support to those who resonate with your core essence. Supporting the creations that speak to your soul makes a profound impact starting with yourself, creating a ripple effect outward.

My pottery is wheel thrown, hand carved, and finished with complimentary glazes and glazing techniques formulated through years of dedicated experimentation.  The firing process is mapped entirely around my glaze choices, because each glaze responds differently to the heat, every vessel is placed deliberately in its sweet spot inside the kiln to maximize the depth, brilliance, and quality of the final color.  Fired at 2,380 degrees to create vitrified porcelain ware created to be used and enjoyed daily.

Microwave safe, Dishwasher safe, Oven safe, and Non-toxic.  

In my youth, I grew up on the east coast, and had family in California.  During my travels is where my imagination took over, and my pens and sketchbooks became my constant companion.  I was exposed to nature early in life, and it has always been a haven for me.  In school, my favorite subjects were art and science.  Throughout my schooling career I elected for as many art classes as possible, and also continued through college.  

After spending summers in Lake Tahoe, then flying back home to the east coast, I knew my heart belonged in California.  When I finally made it my permanent home after years of talking about it, is when my life started to truly align.  I met my husband Arthur, we lived the Tahoe life for a few years then decided to move to his hometown Cambria where his parents live, and start a family of our own.  

After I had my first child, I decided I would not be returning to my traditional job, and that I would stay at home and raise my children.  I discovered quickly that I needed an outlet for my creativity and energy, so I began to dabble in my in-law's pottery studio.  I began making pots and I was good at it!  Becoming a ceramic artist came so naturally, and it allowed me to express my creativity, and stay at home with my kids simultaneously.  

Today, I am incredibly honored to carry on the legacy of Foxlo Pottery,  now retired.  By combining the passed down mastery of their craft, and my own need to feed my creative soul, each piece I create is an idea, transformed into a solidified vessel.
