I love my Clay creations, whether it be a traditional pot, figurine to my custom made pieces. Every one of my creations is custom made with natural earth clay and clay slips collected on the beautiful Jemez Pueblo. I use techniques inspired by generations of artisans and I have incorporated the traditional with the current. The uniqueness of my stone polished, carved and etched pieces to my hand painted figurines and pots tell my story from when I was a little girl learning the importance and sacredness of working with Jemez clay. In my eyes I see clay work to be much like life, you can create what you put your heart and mind to. A designed piece tells a story of a journey and the power of faith. Each year my village is blessed by our spiritual people, which means our Mother Earth and everything in it is also blessed. With each piece goes the blessings of my people to its new home. The Journey Begins...
