The Maker
Sonia began her journey with clay in 2019 and fell in love with the meditative practice. The tactile and playfulness of the raw material inspired her to shape her own organic form language.
Immersed in the rugged landscapes and coastal wonders of Australia. Sonia finds endless inspiration in the untamed beauty of the land and sea which shapes her artistic vision, infusing her ceramics with a sense of organic form and timeless elegance.
Driven by her love for the ocean and the delicate intricacies of seashells, Sonia translates the rhythmic patterns and fluid forms of nature into unique ceramics. Every piece is meticulously crafted by hand, with attention to detail and a deep respect for the materials she works with.
With a keen eye for aesthetics and a flair for innovation, she seeks to inspire people to elevate their living spaces with the luxury ceramics she creates. Whether enhancing a minimalist modern home or a quaint coastal retreat, her ceramics add a touch of luxury and refinement to any interior.
