"My name is Kattia López, and I was born in Costa Rica. While my parents were not artists, my paternal grandfather inspired me to work with gourds. My first artwork was an oil painting of orchids that I sold. For the past 13 years, I have been dedicated to my art. Nature, its flora, and fauna greatly inspire me.
"In 2010, after recovering from a lung operation, I delved into the world of handicrafts. Since then, I have sought to improve my artisanal techniques by studying at various institutions. In 2012, I joined the Identity Crafts program of the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT), where I gained knowledge about our local and national identity.
"For my work, I have received several accolades, including an award from Fumujeres of the National Institute of Women (INAMU) and another from the World Tourism Organization (OMT) for my contribution to national tourism."
