Maria Loram

Maria Loram is a ceramic artist based in Los Angeles, born in Russia, who creates minimalist and organic sculptures, lighting, and vessels. Her work is characterized by earthy, textured surfaces and a "wabi-sabi" aesthetic, which embraces imperfection and simplicity,and is deeply influenced by Eastern philosophies, non-duality, the cosmos, and a connection to nature. Loram's artistic journey includes a background in classical arts and 3D graphics, studies in linguistics, and the purchase of her first pottery wheel, which led to her current career and education at Pasadena City College.
