About Me

About Maya Ceramics and Paintings

My name is Veronica Arquilevich Guzman. I am an artist - I do ceramics and paintings.

I created Maya a few years ago when I was living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. That beautiful place gave me the inspiration to create a series of ceramic pieces that were inspired by the nature and the surroundings that I was living amongst.

Now after moving around Asia and collecting more inspiration in India, Vietnam, and China, I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon. I still have around me what I love most: nature, and I can work in what I like most: my art.

And after setting up my studio at home, I can keep creating these beautiful elements of nature and ceramics.

My pieces speak about me, about growing up camping and collecting mushrooms with my dad and learning to love and respect nature in all senses.

My ceramics are hand-made designs that are naturally imperfect, casually irreverent and playfully delightful. None of the objects you can find here are alike because they were individually hand-crafted.
