Kris Oshiro

Inspired by nature and the alchemy of earth, fire, water and spirit.

In my work I strive to evoke the lushness of the California rolling foothills, and the richness of freshly turned earth. I love to balance simplicity and elegance in my forms with the complexity and unpredictability of nature on my surfaces.

I have been exploring ceramics for over 25 years; it is a language that speaks to my soul and a practice that I keep returning to. It continues to teach me to slow down, to be present, and to connect: with myself, with breath, with the earth and my community.
