Dreamt up by Emilia, a California coastal mermaid, each piece is a celebration of wonder, told through whimsical watercolor illustrations and earthy, folkloric ceramics. Her work invites you into a world where nature hums with personality, stories bloom like wildflowers, and everyday life feels just a bit more magical.
