Ceramics
In 2016, Mayon started a journey through the "Mud." Her aunt was a potter in the south of France, she visited her every summer as a young girl and could observe her creativity and learned from her savoir-faire. Mayon is now developing her own ceramic collections in California.
Painting
Mayon paints scenes of her life, portraits or step out of her studio to painting “Plein air” in Haleiwa, Los Angeles, or Stockholm. She gathers thoughts and impressions and translates them with her brushes through oil painting, ink and acrylic to create vibrant and poetic pieces.
Sketchbooks
Mayon sketches all the time, anywhere, everywhere. She's been working with galleries, hotels, and cafés to bring her "sketchbooks" on their walls or menus. She sketches and paints daily in her various sketchbooks, they are her lifetime companions and the testimony of a life lived with open eyes and excitement for the poetry of the world that surrounds her.
