Surel is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice centers on ceramics. Drawing inspiration from rites of passage and themes of fertility, her work engages with cycles of transformation, creation, and renewal. Rooted in Florida’s pre-colonial histories and ecological narratives, her sculptures evoke a deep connection to place and its ancestral grounding.

Working primarily with stoneware clay fired in her Miami studio, Surel emphasizes texture as a vital language—one that fosters a tactile, sensory relationship between the object and its environment. Through this material approach, her practice bridges the physical and the symbolic, honoring both land and lineage.

Guided by a strong belief in community and collaboration, Surel is the founder of The Collective 62, Miami’s first feminine collective. She is represented by Spinello Projects.
