We came together in 2008, joining our passion for nature art and life itself. We work on our own intuitions and ideas but constantly rebounding of each other with new thoughts and interpretations, rowing in the same direction we love the challenge to realize new commissions and proposals.

"My sculptures in stoneware clay reflect my respect and attention to nature using my observational ability to recreate wildlife pieces full of life, impact and humor. The pieces don’t aim to copy from nature but embellish it".
