Hola
Hello!
I’m Gioconda Padovan — a joyful soul, graphic designer, ceramic artist, art teacher, and creator at heart.
Originally from Caracas, Venezuela, I’ve been happily living in Maryland, USA since 2006 with my sons and our beloved dog, Zorro. My journey into the world of art began while staying home with my children. What started as a way to encourage their creativity turned into one of my own greatest passions: drawing, painting and creating with my hands!
I’m deeply inspired by nature, books, plants, and the endless possibilities of art supplies. The beach is my happy place, and I find joy in visiting art museums, exploring new places, and living with a heart full of gratitude.
Ceramics holds a special place in my creative life — especially making plates. I love stamping them with my own drawings and meaningful quotes that resonate with me, and hand paint it with my images. Each piece carries a little message I hope speaks to you too. Recently, I’ve begun exploring painting on canvas and paper — a new adventure I’m excited to share more of soon.
Thank you for stopping by and welcome to my world!
