I am from Mexico but I have been living in the USA for more than 15 years.

Due to my father’s job ,in public works in Mexico, I had to frequently move from state to state, what gave me the unique opportunity to grasp the various cultural and artistic expressions of the different regions of Mexico and our Spanish and Indian heritage. That unique experience help me develop my deep love for art, and to see all the various types of art created by different artisans was amazing.

Mostly for me the traditional jewelry wore by the native Indians in South Mexico, Chiapas and Oaxaca, are my favorites.

My inspiration comes from my cultural heritage and influences from Mexico. I really like to create art that represents my culture and that gives people a story in every piece I make.

I’m very influenced by all sources of folk art that express a cultural heritage giving me the opportunity to add “soul” to my work.

Nowadays I live in San Antonio, Texas with my Husband and my two wonderful kids. I love to promote and create art. I have been working with metals since 2006, specially with Pure Silver.
