Renovating our family home was a truly rewarding experience, allowing us to create a sanctuary that resonates deeply with our love for coastal living. Each ceramic piece—tile murals, hand-made basins, and porcelain pendant light installations—was thoughtfully designed to capture the raw beauty of the elements: wind, water, earth, and fire. Together, these works tell a story of our family’s connection to the ocean, inspired by memories of holidaying by the sea and the ever-changing coastline.
Our home embodies the meeting of earth and water in a constant dance of creation and erosion. It hums with life, offering a space for connection and creativity, yet holds the quiet power for contemplation and reflection.

TILE MURALS
My tile murals capture fleeting coastal moments, like the golden glow of the sun dipping below the horizon, sea life below the oceans surface or cooking over an open fire. Each piece conveys the essence of camping by the sea, where the faint taste of salt lingers on your lips, and the natural elements leave you grounded yet in awe.

BASINS
Each ceramic basin evokes the smooth, organic forms of seashells and stones washed ashore. Polished by centuries of tides, they carry the cool, timeless essence of the sea. These basins blend functionality with nature’s artistry, inviting us to pause and feel the connection between water and earth in our daily rituals.

PENDANT LIGHTS
Delicately crafted from translucent porcelain, these pendant lights mirror the smooth, eroded forms of pebbles shaped by endless waves. Fragile yet enduring, they emit a warm, inviting glow, filling our space with the comforting rhythm of the coast. Each light is a subtle reminder of nature’s quiet power, adding a serene and timeless ambiance to each room.

TABLEWARE
Eating from handmade ceramic tableware transforms every meal into a sensory experience. Each piece is unique, its form shaped by hand, its glaze kissed by fire, bringing an art installation to the table, morning to night. The weight of a bowl in your hands, the curve of a rim, the way light dances across a plate- these small moments elevate the simple act of eating into something more mindful and connected. It’s a daily ritual infused with joy, reminding us that beauty and function can exist in perfect harmony.
