Hi, my name is Erika Arbour-Nevins and I am a multidisciplinary artist currently located on Vancouver Island, B.C.
Working professionally between photography, photo editing and illustration since 2010, pottery has become my main focus from 2016 onward after taking it on as side project in 2015.

With some playful pieces in the mix, the majority of my work is currently of functional nature. I like to think the work I make is unique in itself yet simple - making it fit into your life seamlessly with thoughtful form and function.
I believe on top of just being beautiful and enhancing our experience, handmade pottery brings us to be more conscious of where the dishes we use came from, you can see it has a human touch, and hopefully will steer us towards more thoughtful consumerism.
The ultimate goal with the pieces I create is that they become part of your every day life and bring you comfort: daily rituals, gatherings with friends and family, and on and on...
These are things we don’t always take note of but those small connections and the often unnoticed links we tend to create with one another and our surroundings are what we ultimately build our lives around.

Everything is made by my own two hands: the majority of my pieces are wheel thrown and sometimes hand built, glazes are mixed in house and everything is fired in my studio. All product photography also by yours truly unless credited otherwise.

Illustrations stamped on my shipping boxes and shopping bags as well as on my contact page are by Célia Marquis - check out her work here!

Thank you for stopping by :)
