Maria Esther

Poised, charming, and sophisticated are the first words that come to mind when you’re in the company of Maria Esther. As a talented Venezuelan artist and tastemaker, she brings vibrancy to her everyday life and savors each moment. Maria lost her safety net to the violence in Venezuela and turned her grief into beautiful clay pottery and delicious food for the world to taste. We appreciate her whimsical approach to adding life to everyday tasks - a true artist indeed, with a passion for meaning and vibrancy.

“I didn’t [formally] study to be a chef. My passion for food and cooking, for nutrition comes from my childhood, from the flavors from my soul food.”
