Established in 2008, artist Aedriel Moxley, a native to the picturesque Santa Fe/Albuquerque area, set out to combine her love of color with aesthetically pleasing designs by creating distinctive tableware and earthenware home accents. The local culture provides Aedriel an appreciation for the unexpected while still capturing on-trend styles. She went on to create Aedriel.com, a resource for inspiration as well as party styling services. Aedriel has been generously featured across the globe including BRIDES magazine, The Glitter Guide, Southern Weddings Magazine, Style Me Pretty, Grey Likes, Poppytalk, The Bump and many others.
As a young girl I watched the potter come and go from the little house she used as a studio on our property in the North Valley outside of Albuquerque, NM. I was so intrigued by her and what she was able to create with only her vision and her hands. The seed was planted that I would someday create a life around art.
I'm often startled awake in the middle of the night with an idea, a vision, a new design. My passion runs deep. Yes, I'm a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend and a sister but my identity is most vivid when I think of my role as a designer and artist. My name has truly shaped who I am and the dream I've always had. My name stands alone and has given me the courage and confidence to be unique.
I seek inspiration everywhere from emerging fashion and home decor trends to the breathtaking sunsets only found in New Mexico. My designs start as a sketch and are given life with either watercolors, acrylics, oils or a combination of all these mediums. After I have a clear vision of the design, I sketch directly onto my earthenware. Several layers of paint and visits to the kiln result in a piece ready for two coats of hand-painted glaze and one more firing. It's quite a process!
At AO we offer a signature look not found anywhere else with the goal in mind that moments, big and small, should be marked with a distinct and personal touch. Each piece is designed to mix and match creating a dynamic combination of sophistication and fun using only the highest heirloom quality non-toxic materials.
