Once, the Guardaroba of the Medici accounted for every beautiful thing in their palace.
Now La Guardaroba Firenze acts as your personal inventory of beauty.

I was born in San Francisco, California, and have been living in Florence, Italy since 2015.
I’ve always made things with my hands, but find a dynamic collaboration between my art history and fine art backgrounds in my ceramics practice.
Researching eighteenth-century Florentine painter Violante Siriès Cerroti for Advancing Women Artists Foundation opened up that period in the city’s history to me, feeding my ceramics with curvaceous Baroque lines.
The experience of combing Medici and Lorraine-era inventories searching for Violante’s paintings among the artworks, objects, and furnishings carefully recorded in them inspired La Guardaroba Firenze.
I make objects I hope you will find joy in using every day, and that you will discover new ways to enliven the way you arrange your life with them.
