I have always been a dreamer, with great confidence in my artistic abilities. My childhood was filled with love, surrounded by family and friends. My grandparents owned a bakery and a movie theater. My mother was a seamstress and baker while my father ran a blacksmith workshop; they were hardworking people. I myself have a degree as a primary school teacher.

From a young age, I loved keeping busy creating, which was key to developing my imagination and skills. At 21, I discovered my passion for ceramics and painting. Although the path was not easy, with perseverance and dedication I have been able to work in these wonderful art forms for over 30 years.

Art has always been my passion, and my dream is to gain recognition for it. I want to continue learning and teach others, so they can find the same joy in artistic creation as I do. Ive had many teachers throughout my life, and now I enjoy teaching others with enthusiasm and dedication.

Over the course of my career, Ive had the honor of being a guest judge in several school art events, as well as being interviewed on TV Azteca Guatemala to showcase my creations.

Besides my work in ceramics, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going for walks and delighting in good food.

My art is inspired by the beauty of nature and the joy it can bring to people. I am grateful to those who appreciate the love and dedication I put into each of my pieces. I will always remain true to my work so as not to let them down. I thank God for blessing all artisans with our talent and for opening doors for us to showcase our art to the world.
