Artist Statement

I had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time with the indigenous
Guambia culture from my country Colombia, South America. The
Guambianos live in the central northern Andes and are known for their
ceramics and weaving. I discovered their primitive traditions and techniques
of working with clay without the use of a potter's wheel. They showed me
how to connect with my roots and the earth. At this time I was even more
inspired to be part of a long history of people making things with their hands.
My work reflects the ancient artistic traditions from South America.

When creating a piece of clay, I am into it. Making pottery is pure joy!!
