About

Eleonor Boström is a Swedish ceramic artist based in San Francisco, USA. A main theme throughout her ceramics are dogs (and sometimes a protagonist cat). Dogs are source of happiness and so are also objects with a purpose. Eleonor strive to add functionality and playfulness to every porcelain sculpture.

Inspiration comes from her drawings, exploring flea markets and childhood cartoons.
