Welcome! I’m Emily, a ceramicist who creates at my home studio in Topsham, ME.

 

I was adopted as an infant from Bogota, Colombia and primarily grew up in the southern Maine countryside. Since I was very little, I have always had my hands in something creative and I especially love working with clay. Clay can be anything, giving life to memories, stories and dreams. My bright, whimsical ceramic work is inspired by a childhood spent being fascinated by creatures of all kinds, being dubbed “The Candy Queen,” devouring myths/legends/folklore and building amusing narratives. 

​

As a maker I want to make people of all ages smile, wonder, imagine and enjoy the magic of my creations. Materials I use are a combination of purchased and personally developed casting slip, clay and glazes. Pieces are made with hand building and slip casting techniques using mid-range porcelain clay bodies. My works are original and everything is designed by me.
