Down the Rabbit Hole with Wild Prism Studios
Once upon in burnout, I lost myself. A lifelong entrepreneur, a wife, and a stepmom to two wild and wonderful teenagers, I had become tangled in the business of life. I was missing something—ME. In a moment of inspiration (or madness?), I signed up for a pottery class, just to carve out a little time to create again.
And then—like Alice chasing the White Rabbit—I fell, headfirst, into clay. Down the rabbit hole, I tumbled, into a world of spinning wheels, swirling colors, and infinite possibility. Pottery didn’t just become a hobby; it felt like remembering a part of myself I had forgotten. Now, it’s all I want to do, think about, and explore.
At Wild Prism Studios, inspiration is everywhere—the patterns in fabric, the glow of a sunset, the lines of modern design, and the sheer joy of play. I follow my curiosity like breadcrumbs, letting it lead me toward unexpected textures, bold color combinations, and surprising forms. From handmade jewelry with vivid nerikomi patterns to beautifully functional ceramics that bring art into the everyday, each piece I create is a one-of-a-kind adventure.
I believe creativity is life. We are meant to get our hands dirty, to chase the unknown, and to craft our own magical reality. Every piece I make is infused with that spirit—crafted with joy, meant to bring delight, and designed to make the ordinary feel a little more extraordinary.
So, welcome to Wild Prism Studios. Follow the White Rabbit. Let your imagination run wild. And don’t be afraid to get a little messy.
Because the best magic happens when we let creativity take the lead.
