+ Biography

Maya Leroy is a Swedish/French artist and designer based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Her Doodle series is an ever expanding collection of unique, hand build and hand painted contemporary ceramics.

+ Background Story

Doodle series came about during the first corona lockdown, from a need and want to create without having to be too serious and without having to think too much of the end result while having fun in doing. Air dry clay has proven to be an ideal medium to work independently, without having to visit any workshops with a kiln as it doesn't need firing.

Previously I have mainly worked with textiles and that’s where I find a lot of my inspirations for my patterns and colours.
