BoliviaGALLERYCONVERSATION
These days I believe in a turning back, a sprouting.
I believe in Us standing.
I believe in the Seeds we hold in our hands.
From our Hands to the earth,
From the Earth to our people,
And from the People to
The hands
Of our Daughters


I continue to be inspired, to be filled with admiration and awed, by the abundance of feminine myths and tales that I have discovered about seeds, plants, and food, and by cultural and biological diversity itself. My paintings are not only a personal channel to express the intimate sense of nature that I deeply identify with, but also a bridge to communicate, transmit, and educate others about the message of traditional wisdom.
