MIWAKO Heverly

Miwa Ceramics comes from her name, Miwako, which means beautiful and peaceful, and that is what she wants her pottery to be- giving a sense of beauty and peace every time people look at and hold them.

Taking inspiration from her heritage, Miwako likes to express Japanese art philosophy and appreciation of nature in her ceramics - grace of simplicity is presented in subtle and understated shapes and forms, beauty of imperfection is shown in asymmetry and randomness in her designs, tranquility is expressed in the peaceful and nostalgic ways she uses nature’s motif and hues, and power of absence is demonstrated by purposeful spaces to create balance.

Miwako finds pure joy of creation and her genuine self through clay and hopes to share her love of pottery making with others. She has participated in shows in Green Bay, Wisconsin, had her work exhibited at The Neville Public Museum, Museum of Wisconsin Art, The Art Garage, has her pieces at Cappaert Contemporary Gallery in Egg Harbor, and participated on various art shows in Wisconsin.
