About the Artist
Born and raised in Singapore, I received my BFA and Bachelor of Architecture from the National University of Singapore. Pottery is a part of everyday life and it is also a spectacular art form. I began my journey in clay at Kasumi Katagiri's pottery studio in Bangkok. Moving to Maryland, I joined the Glen Echo Pottery community. I am immensely thankful for the creative support and inspiration. Clay Elements is a one-woman proprietorship featuring functional and sculptural ceramics.

Artist's Statement
My ceramic designs are about the synthesis of form and painting. I am inspired by the interplay of color, light, pattern and texture in the changing seasons. The influences of landscape, nature and architecture permeate through my work. I am focused on material and details, color and light, balancing traditional and modern elements, symmetry and asymmetry, organic and geometric lines. The forms are wheel thrown, altered and assembled components. They are canvases for mono printing and painting in calligraphic brushwork with layers of colored slips, stains and glazes.
