Ileana Alarcon is a ceramicist working out of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Her focus is on making youthful functional ware that brings a bit of whimsy into everyday objects and routines. She believes that simple moments should also be celebrated and made special through the use of fantasy-like objects. Ileana’s work is mainly influenced by her Colombian heritage, Magical Realism, and current events. When she’s not making pots, Ileana enjoys creating immersive installations where her audience can find themselves in new worlds.
