Hi, I’m Cathy, the artist behind
Uncertain Studio
Born in Los Angeles and based in Las Vegas, I create functional ceramics meant to bring intention to your mundane rituals while quietly elevating your space. Inspired by the desert—its rocky formations and the abundance found within it—I embrace play in my practice, experimenting with different techniques, whether hand building or throwing on the wheel.
For years, I’ve wrestled with the idea of calling myself an artist. A title that carried both a lot of weight and stigma, especially coming from my Filipino heritage where being a nurse or a doctor was the expected path.
Maybe I’ve always been a contrarian, but each piece I create is, in its own way, a small act of rebellion against those expectations—while simultaneously an intentional expression of love.
I hope you feel that love (and little rebellion) anytime you return to your vessel.
