I have loved the process of creating since I was very young. My mom and my aunt taught me crochet when I was nine. Later, I learned to sew, needlepoint, embroidery, papier mache, glass work, ceramics and recently painting and collage. I began my journey in the art business in 1996 after attending a ceramics workshop. The most important thing I learned in that workshop was that I could transform that clay into almost anything I wanted. I took some of my first projects to a lovely store in my home town, after that, my life made a huge turn. From an Industrial Engineer and professor of management to a creative life in ceramics. For almost fifteen years I worked as a professor of management and engineering and as a ceramic artist. Now I am dedicated to my passion in art. After some drawing and painting courses I have become a mixed media artist too. I love this new big step in my life.
My work is sold in very important stores in Puerto Rico. My designs are inspired by a truly passion for nature and family life. My work in ceramic is hand built with clay slabs, fired to very high temperatures, painted with slips, stains, under glazes and glazes and fired again to very high temperatures. My creations adorn many homes in Puerto Rico and around the world in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, United States, Hungary, India, Italy, among others.
I have a very big family with seven sisters and five brothers and also blessed with three sons, Gabriel, Cristian, and Víctor André; a lovely grandson, Javier André; two great daughters in law, Anyelis and Sheynel and my first granddaughter, Aliany Gabriela.
