Step into honoring the four elements and create the world you’ve imagined for yourself, your community and our Mother Earth.

Hi, I'm Kelly Elizabeth

Founder of Mindful Ceramics

This is my Story

 My journey began through science and wellness, with a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics and a certification in Trauma-Informed Yoga. For years, I studied how the body finds balance and how nourishment can support healing. But it wasn’t until I began listening to clay as a teacher that I found the deeper medicine I had been seeking. Clay taught me patience, presence, and that every day is ceremony.

Through my art and teaching, I weave together gratitude as both a ritual and a way of living—an offering to self, community, and our planet. I work with the Four Elements—Earth, Water, Air, and Fire—as simple yet profound forces of life. Without them, there is no existence. In honoring them, we remember that we, too, are part of a reciprocal relationship: what we receive, we must also give back.

Roots

"Knowing that you love the Earth changes you, activates you to defend, protect and celebrate it. But when you feel that the Earth loves you in return, that relationship transforms from a one-way street to a sacred bond."
— Robin Wall Kimmerer, Native American Botanist

My journey as an artist started generations ago with my Indigenous ancestors from the Pipil Tribes of El Salvador and the Cora Tribes of Mexico. They lived in a sacred bond with the Earth, guided by practices that were regenerative for all ecosystems. The Earth provided them with food, water, medicine, shelter, and clothing—and in return, they offered gratitude ceremonies that celebrated the gifts of the land.

For me, working with clay is an act of gratitude to the Earth and all she provides. It is also a way to reclaim history and ancestral practices, reconnecting with the same materials and traditions my people have carried for generations. Ceramics, in this way, is both personal ritual and ancestral remembrance.

My Practice

My work is creating vessels and rituals of reverence—objects that hold gratitude, stories, and prayers. These vessels become altars for remembering that sustainability begins within us: in the way we tend to ourselves, to each other, and to the Earth.

Every offering I share is an invitation—to slow down, to connect, and to discover gratitude as a daily practice. Together, we can honor the elements that sustain us and move toward a more balanced, compassionate way of living.
