Porcelain ceramics inspired by the emotional and symbolic language of animals. Each piece blends form, function, and feeling. Made to be held, used, and treasured.

My animal imagery comes from my watercolor paintings, hand-drawn illustrations, and vintage scientific drawings from the 1800s. Some are delicate and quiet, others vivid and cosmic. Each sharing its own story.

With over a decade in ceramics and another decade painting animals in watercolor, I blend these practices together. Letting the personalities and magic of animals come alive through clay and glaze, I create pieces that invite grace & connection with every sip or meal.
