I was invited by Art Clay Silver to design jewelry pieces for this year's Abierto Mexicano de Diseño, an international design festival that promotes Mexican designers and artists. The event will take place in October in several historic buildings in downtown Mexico City.
Art Clay is a maleable medium that lets me turn my drawings into three dimensions. I'll be working on my proposals all week. I hope I can show you previews!

Eclipse
“Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.”

Etsy Featured Shop
I am so grateful to have my work and story featured on the Etsy blog.
The article is part of an inspiring series called Featured Shops, and was beautifully written by Valerie Rains, Senior Editor at Etsy. We spoke on Skype a few weeks ago about the motifs and themes of my childhood, a quest for self-discovery that took me across the globe, and how I found my creative voice.
The Etsy blog has been a source of inspiration for me. I have learnt about business and creativity, and have vicariously traveled the world through the lens of each featured artist. Take a plunge, you will be enriched!

You are light and you are shadow.
