I was born in a small community in
mexico, called San Pancho Nayarit, (north of Puerto Vallarta Mexico,). At the age of 5, I came to Canada with my mother to live with her family in B,C.
I Have lived most of my life primarily in the Kootenay region around nelson B.C. and I am honored to have the privilege of drawing so much rich inspiration from this gorgeous land.
Most of the time i'm immersed in the mossy, temperate rain forests, participating in all kinds of hobbies like hiking, swimming, snowboarding and most often just admiring the different forms that nature creates outdoors. when I'm not in Canada, I'm can be found in Mexico, soaking up creativity from the sun, waves, tropical surroundings and family that I'm fortunate enough to go back and visit every so often.
This duality gives me the opportunity to explore two completely different environments, each as my home and makes much of my life a great adventure!

My hopes are to continue the theme of adventure into my future, as I dream of traveling far and wide to learn from many different cultures and draw inspiration from the diverse natural world. I have so much gratitude for the opportunity to have learned seed beading, and to be able to share my unique experience of this world with those around me in the form of wearable art.

As a person I thrive in self expression and individuality, I find that it shows through my work. I consistently flow into different shapes, colors, and patterns. (Sometimes I don't even want to finish a pair because by the time I've tied knots on the one i'm making, I've already thought of so many different variations, I cant even keep up!) The amount of ideas I have for pieces I could create is endless and your support in helping me make them become manifest is so valuable to me.
Also a huge thank you to those who have supported me, my dreams, and my aspirations throughout my entire life. The list of beautiful beings and my love for them is endless.
