Growing up I spent hours in the school art room on the pottery wheel. Later, at Stanford University, I received my degree in Product Design and after graduating I worked for many years as an art director. My early passion for ceramics was revived when I enrolled with my children in a workshop. My ceramics have developed from a hobby to a passion and into a business where I reproduce my designs in small series. Each one of my designs I develop by hand-modifying wheel thrown pieces, once the shape is refined to my liking, I make a mold to reproduce it with. Some of the pieces on my Etsy shop are completely handmade, others are slip cast in molds and then hand-finished. My ceramics embody my Swedish-Chinese heritage. Beyond their tactile and playful nature, my work combines elements of Asian and Scandinavian cultures.
