I began learning pottery in high school as part of an art elective, where I quickly fell in love with the tactile nature of clay and the creative possibilities it offered. After graduation, fueled by my passion and determination to turn this hobby into something more, I decided to start my own pottery business. With the invaluable support and guidance of my mom, who shared her insights on running a small business, I transformed my skills into a venture that allowed me to create custom, handmade ceramic pieces for others to enjoy. Together, we navigated the challenges of entrepreneurship, and thus, my pottery journey came full circle.

Pottery is my favorite medium to create art with because it offers a unique blend of dimensionality and functionality. The three-dimensional nature of ceramics allows me to sculpt and shape pieces that are not only visually engaging but also tactile and tangible. Each bowl, mug, or plate becomes a part of daily life, transforming ordinary moments into special experiences. The ability to use my art in everyday routines deepens my connection to the work I create, making each piece a meaningful vessel that holds both beauty and purpose while enriching my surroundings.
