MEET CLAUDETTE

Being here is where the work begins.

I’ve come to understand creativity is something that asks for presence. It appears in stillness, in the unexpected beauty in an ordinary moment. The things that reveal themselves when I slow down enough to notice what is around me and what is asking my attention.

I want to stay curious. To keep looking closer, asking questions, trying something new. To leave room for surprise and to find beauty in the imperfect, the unfinished, the things that carry the marks of being lived.

To me, creativity is about being present enough to see what is already there, and trusting in the freedom that comes from surrendering to life, allowing it to unfold in its own time, in its own way.

Both pottery and photography have given me a way of being more awake to life.

Two practices, one studio. Both are reminders to stay curious, stay present, and keep making.

Let’s create something beautiful together.
