Venus Sunrise

In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love and beauty which fit into how I want anyone who wears my pieces to feel. As well as a fascination with space and Venus being my favorite planet- for it is the brightest object in the sky next to the sun and moon. Adding the unmatched beauty & peace of a morning sunrise, there is nothing quite like it, and so, Venus Sunrise stuck.

Venus Sunrise came to fruition shortly after I became a first time mama. I had worked in the floral industry as a designer for about 5 years prior to becoming a stay at home mom. I soon realized I needed an outlet to ignite my creativity again. I stumbled upon the polymer clay community, & instantly fell in love with the medium- I then perfected my craft for about a year before I decided to fully go for it & thus Venus Sunrise blossomed!

With clay being the main material I work with. Im loving coming up with different color combinations with the clay. A fun fact about Venus sunrise is that all of our hues are custom mixed by hand.

For as long as I can remember I’ve always been creating. From Ceramics, to painting, makeup artistry & floral designing- I’m so passionate about creating with my hands and pushing the limits of my creativity with any medium I work with.

Yes! I don’t think I would be where I am creatively without the ongoing support of the people around me. From family in my early days of creating, to where I am now- I’ve always had a corner of people supporting my every move, and for that, I am so grateful.

Creating for me is almost like a therapy- some of my best designs come from when I just let my hands & mind flow freely.

Polymer clay is such a fun material to work with. From color customization, to the shapes one can create- the possibilities are endless. As each of my pieces are one of a kind. I can re-create the same design but the effect of clay will always mean no two pieces will ever really be the exact same.

If there is one word I could use to describe myself, it would be passionate. With everything I do and create, I do it with passion and love. My main mission for Venus Sunrise is to create pieces with lasting quality that effortlessly make a statement.

The biggest challenge for me being a creative/maker has to be when a creative block hits. Being in my own head sometimes definitely holds me back some days from creating & truly letting my mind rest for ideas to flow.

To name a few when I am not listening to podcasts, I’m usually jammin’ to alt J, Leon bridges, or Fleetwood Mac!
