Kaya
Hi, I’m Gözde Kaya, a ceramic artist from Istanbul, now living and creating in Houston, TX. I love creating playful ceramic sculptures that make people smile. Since December 2024, I’ve been proud to be a member of Archway Gallery.
Houston’s oldest artist-owned gallery —where I share my work and stories with the community.
My work is inspired by everyday life, childhood memories, and the joy of human connection. Each piece carries a bit of humor, color, and warmth, inviting viewers to pause and smile. I believe art should not only be seen, but also felt — a small spark of happiness in someone’s day.
