Everyday I am inspired by the talented people that live in this city. I know it's not a new thing to capture artists in their workspaces, but I wanted to do this for me. I enjoy meeting the people who create these things and learning the process behind it. It makes me feel more connected to the artist knowing the story behind it. I've decided to make it a regular thing around here. I will be introducing some newer starting out creatives as well as some very established. I have featured a variety of artists here in the past, but consider it a new official part of this blog. La Buena Vida is all about the good life and I can't think of another way to express it then to share those whom make it that way. I hope you enjoy seeing behind the scenes and inside the spaces of these incredibly talented people.
I came across Eric's beautiful ceramics at Mocuin. His aesthetic hit right at home with me. I was instantly drawn to his color palates and the elegant simplicity of his bowls, plates, mugs and pitchers. I had to meet the man behind it, he kindly agreed to be a part of my project. We had a real connection and an appreciation for the elegant and simplistic. I adore this man, and all he creates. His nesting bowls featured above are some of my favorites, many of them done using a process that includes dipping the piece twice, creating a stripe down the center. I also love his signature spout.
