is a California native and resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. Rae's inspiration comes from the earth, and she finds beauty in simple shapes, natural forms and found objects. Her utilitarian approach to designing ceramics is strongly based on the Japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi; the beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete. Each item is designed to have a hand crafted look and a hand painted look so each item is unique and can have slight imperfections.
