Merel is an illustrator who has fallen in love with ceramics. Her sense of style and design fostered through her background as a 2-D artist has translated in eye-pleasing ways to her 3-D forms. Her whimsical, Eastern inspired drawings run beautifully along the side of cylindrical forms and within the convex curvatures of traditional plates and bowls. Merel is an emerging artist with extraordinary potential and intriguing creative future.
