Danielle found clay in 2015 through a class at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago. In 2016 she started making and selling work under the name Monsoon Pottery and has since been creating functional work for food enthusiasts, chefs, and tea lovers.
One of Danielle’s major points of inspiration is Asian Art History. Studying handmade objects from the past ignites Danielle’s creativity. Her practice is centered around taking traditional Asian forms and finishes and updating them so they fit seamlessly into homes today.
