When Helen moved to Austin in 2019, her dream of having a ceramics studio in her home was fulfilled when she built one in the empty woodworking shed in her backyard. This led to the journey of building the Waterston Ceramics community with her dear friend, Lili Jamail. Her work includes functional fine art for people's homes, including large vessels, bowls, and sculptural lamps. Her pieces are sold at Jardin in Houston, TX. She has showcased her work in private shows in Austin and Houston in 2021, 2022 and 2023.Helen is currently working towards a lighting show this winter of 2024 featuring large-scale floor lamps and side table lamp collections.
From the moment Helen's hands first touched clay in her kindergarten art class, a deep-rooted passion was ignited. Her high school ceramics teacher further fueled this passion, encouraging her to explore the wheel and slab rolling, a perfect complement to her love for sculptural work.
