My recent work, titled Erika’s Morning Pose, is a testament to the timeless appeal of ceramic figurative sculpture.

This sculpture captures the essence of a peaceful morning, with the subject in a relaxed and meditative pose. Her serene expression exudes tranquility and calmness, making it a perfect piece to start the day with. With every intricate detail, from the subtle curves of her body to the delicate folds of her clothing, Erika Morning Pose invites viewers to appreciate the beauty of simplicity and the power of stillness. As a ceramic artist, I find inspiration in the natural world and the human form. Through my work, I strive to create pieces that evoke emotion and connect with the viewer on a deep level. Creating this sculpture was a truly fulfilling experience for me, and I hope that those who view it can feel the same sense of peace and serenity that I felt while creating it.
