About the Artist

Hi, my name is Alexa, thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my story. I am a physical therapist, and after several years of working in the healthcare industry, I found myself in a management position. Over the last couple years in particular, stress from work and burnout began profoundly impacting my mental health. As someone who has been involved with the arts my whole life, I began searching for something that would help me reconnect with my creativity and joy. Little did I know, pottery would become exactly that.

Since discovering ceramics in 2024, I have fallen even more in love with the craft. Pottery provides me an opportunity to connect my body and mind, get my hands dirty, and make something one of a kind. Pottery has taught me, and continues to teach me so much — the beauty of letting go, embracing imperfection, and appreciating the present moment. Ultimately, I hope that my pieces capture a sense of connection and ephemeral beauty. I hope they create moments in your lives and spaces in your homes that remind you to care for yourself and find joy in the smaller things.
