About the Artist:
Playing with clay, with food, and with life My ceramics are the purest expression of how I live my life. I use everything I see, touch and taste as inspiration. In their playful and tactile qualities, my pieces reflect my natural appetite for freedom and connection to the present moment. I began experimenting with clay 6 years ago, with the same delight and curiosity as I began to experiment with cakes 7 years earlier. As a professional pastry chef, trained and certified by the FCI in New York City, I feel a strong connection between making pastry and shaping clay. Both are naturally similar and endlessly satisfying processes. I draw deep pleasure from watching people’s unabashed reactions to my pieces. My floating balloons—in varying sizes, colors and levels of inflatedness—seem to trigger positive childhood memories.
