I was born on the coast of Peru, amongst its dunes and sandy beaches.  I drew inspiration from the spare beauty of its cracked and stressed desert landscapes, filled with vitality and vibrant spirit.  

In my work, I seek to convey a moment of emotion by transcending the anecdotic and allowing the inherent forces of pure form speak. I like to show in my work the fascination that occurs when planes, volumens, lines and space interact with each other, to express an intention, provoke a thought or convey a feeling. I am most satisfied when my expression, the subject, and the materials all come together and speak as one voice.

I have a passion for teaching art to the community, and have enjoyed several opportunities to create and direct a variety of public art projects in the United States of America; my home since 1989. Samples can be seen on the gallery page, and more specific information about each project can be obtained by contacting me directly.

I accept private, public and corporate commissions, and am able to design customized handmade tile projects for site specific locations.
