Late Summer Collection : 8.26.26

Whenever I hear a gull’s cry, I am transported to the beach. I’ve always loved the seagull, and recently discovered some of the symbolism associated with it. A a bird that lives between sea and sky, it has come to represent freedom, resilience, and safe passage – the ability to adapt to changing conditions while continuing toward the horizon. As an immigrant, this message resonates deeply with me. My summer collection began with creating the seagull illustration.

My recent trip to the Pacific Northwest visiting friends found its way into this collection as well… the colors of the coast, the creatures that live there, and the feeling of being immersed in the natural world.

Then I thought about what I use most in my home during the hot summer months.

Tumblers because they feel so good in the hand. 10 oz size is perfect for a morning cup of coffee. 16 oz size is great for an herbal iced tea in the afternoon.

Small side bowls and trays that easily tuck into a carry-on bag to share with friends and family.

I also love these painterly wall pieces. Inspired by waves, sky, and sunsets. Uniquely glazed and made to hang among other artwork. They are like tiny portals to the coast.

The Late Summer Collection is scheduled to launch at 8 am on 8.26.26.
