Discovering an innate ability to create with clay changed my life.  Creative research led me to reconnecting to my rich cultural heritage of Mexico. In the process of collaborating with the material of earth, I align with an intuitive creative flow.  In that same process discovery of several sides of myself takes place. Creating with clay connects me to an ancient practice and ancestral energy.  The completed artwork is essentially an embodiment with an intention. Guardians, Warriors, and Sages are ongoing characters with zoomorphic and anthropomorphic features that I use to express very personal stories which can also be seen as universal experiences.
