Description: Coastal Bloom is a ceramic vessel that captures the spirit of Carpinteria's shoreline in sculptural form. With its ruffled, coral-like edges and luminous glaze, the bowl evokes the delicate beauty of tide pool flora and the vibrant hues of ocean mist at sunset. Shades of seafoam green, deep indigo, and violet swirl across the glossy interior, creating a gradient that mirrors the shifting light over the Pacific. The jagged, organic rim suggests petals caught in motion or the rugged contours of coastal rock formations, inviting viewers to reflect on nature's balance between chaos and harmony. Both functional and expressive, this piece celebrates the textures and colors that define our coastal environment, where land meets sea, and art meets life.
