Every portrait begins with a conversation

Together, we’ll explore the stories, memories, photographs, and meaningful objects that capture the essence of someone you love. These become the inspiration for a one-of-a-kind sculptural portrait, handcrafted from reclaimed ceramics and other thoughtfully chosen materials.

Some of those materials may come from you, a cherished piece of pottery, a family heirloom, or meaningful memory wares. Additional materials have found their way into my studio over many years, patiently waiting for their moment to enrich someone’s story. Together, they become part of a portrait that could never exist for anyone else.

The result is more than a likeness. It is a deeply personal work of art that celebrates connection, honors a life, and becomes part of your family’s legacy.

Let’s Create Something you’ll Cherish

I accept a limited number of commissions each year, allowing me to give every project, and every client, my full attention, creativity, and care.

“Gila was amazing to work with, very helpful with taking my idea and making it a masterpiece! She was wonderful with giving me color palette options, grout color samples, and communication all around. The mosaic backsplash is stunning in my new kitchen. Highly recommend!”
