Micaela Sharief DeMarquez (she/her) of Mimi Ceramics lives and works in Portland, Oregon. She is self taught and has been making pottery since 2014.

Mica’s enjoys making practical and functional objects with sculptural influence, currently focusing on exploration of color through tinting clay with pigments and airbrushing glazes to achieve soft gradients. Her artistic vision is fueled by inspiration drawn from a wide array of sources, including fashion, graphic design, architecture, and interior design. Every Mimi Ceramics piece is hand thrown on the wheel, as well as hand painted and glazed by Mica herself.
