One day, an unexpected package arrived at my doorstep containing an adorable vintage boy bear cookie jar- with a handwritten love letter nestled inside. Captivated by its character, scale, and nostalgic utility, I was instantly smitten. That serendipitous moment sparked a lifelong obsession, launching my journey as a collector of 1950s and ’60s ceramic treasures.

As my collection grew, a creative spark took hold: Why not sculpt my own? I began sketching character-driven designs, enrolled in a ceramic studio, and- after countless hours of hand-building, glazing, and firing- Hazy Mae was born.

Today, my studio practice has expanded far beyond the classic cookie jar. I now hand-sculpt a vibrant world of ceramic home décor, including my signature "Hazy Vasies" and "Hazy Blazies" candle holders. Every single piece is meticulously handcrafted in my Brooklyn studio, fusing high artistry with everyday whimsy.

Infused with personality and inspired by the icons and characters that fascinate me, my work has found a home in discerning collections, interior design studios, and luxury storefronts nationwide. It brings me immense joy to send a little touch of handmade magic out into the world.
