Potter, Truth Seeker, Strong Woman. Ceramics – All handmade with love
I draw inspiration from the world around me. My intention is to tell a story with each piece I create.
Every item is handmade with love from start to finish.
Each piece is unique and one-of-a-kind as I love to explore different texture and designs.
I’m excited to connect with you soon.
Next shop restock will be end of November or early December, 2018.
Let me get the “serious” stuff out of the way first.
In my real life, I am a healer, licensed acupuncturist and co-founder of a wellness clinic.
I am strong, a good listener and I strive to hold space when clients and friends are in need.
Whew, now that we’ve covered that, I’ll share with you the other important things about who I am and what I’m really about.
Potter? Artist? Creative? Rebel?
I started taking pottery lessons to help deal with my grief after my father died. I did not expect to fall in love with the process. (I almost quit after the second class but no one needs to know that)
Pottery has taught me that it is okay to be imperfect, to trust in the process and most importantly, to slow down and be present.
(Because when you are not present at the pottery wheel, the whole vessel collapses!)
I am a wild rebel at heart. I do not do well being told what to do and I get bored easily.
This is why I seldom create the same design twice.
Mother Earth
I have a deep connection with nature, hence I have a strong desire to save the world.
I believe that when as a collective, we are healthy on all levels – mental, physical and spiritual, we will be kinder to ourselves, the people around us and mother earth.
My work in ceramics is one way I dream of contributing to making the world – your world, a bit better.
My intention is that when you are using your mug or bowl, that you know you are not alone, that imperfection is good and that you feel a connection to nature.
Who and What Fuel my Soul
In order to be a good human, healer and potter, I spend a lot of time in nature.
I cry often and I laugh a lot. I am grateful to be married to a man who makes me laugh daily.
I am nourished by my soul friends who are brilliant at showing up and holding space.
Hence, I am fiercely protective of the people I love.
Last but not least,
I am an avid reader as I am constantly seeking knowledge and the truth. This means I try to speak up when needed.
I am a homebody.
I love nature, the mountain, the ocean, funky socks, and coffee.
Fun fact: I once officiated a wedding for close friends on a boat.
I live and work on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
Commonly known as Vancouver, British Columbia.

My work
Each piece is handmade with love, attention and it reflects what inspires me – nature, animals, and strong women.
Most pieces are made on the pottery wheel, then I add special touches to each piece.
I do occasionally hand build some pieces when inspiration strikes.
As all pieces are handmade, there might be some variations, and you will notice that each piece has its own unique feature.
The process of working with clay has taught me to be kinder to myself and that it is okay to be different and unique.
Hence, my wish is that when you are using your piece, it reminds you to be strong like your piece, that you know you are loved as I made each piece with care, and that it is good to be different.
All of the pieces are food, microwave, and dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is highly recommended.
