Collection: The Introverted Potter

Maritza Leon is a Mexican-American artist. She was born and raised in California's Central Valley surrounded by fruit fields and immigrants. The artist uses her training and experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist and Art Therapist to share radical self-acceptance, affirmations, and her own grieving process. Maritza takes influence from her culture, inviting joy, and embracing the full spectrum of emotions. 

Her current body of work focuses on love, grief, and radical self-acceptance. Maritza explores a reconnection with the fat body as a means of empowerment and processing grief through her ceramic vessels.
