Karen Kuo is a Los Angeles-based artist working across painting, sculpture, and ceramics. She uses iterative and highly-structured processes to shape clay and images into precise, tactile forms that bridge the languages of digital architecture and organic form. Kuo received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and currently serves as Ceramics Technician at Scripps College. Her work has been exhibited across the US and internationally, including at the 81st Scripps Annual, the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, and Contemporary Art Istanbul, featured in public works in Taiwan and Turkey, and is held in the Morgan Stanley Art Collection. 

We're happy to offer a collection of Karen's functional porcelain objects handcrafted using the traditional Nerikomi technique, where intricate patterns are built directly into the clay body itself. Featuring distinct, hand-layered colorways that mimic natural woodgrains and fluid topographies, each piece balances fine art with daily utility.
