My tapestries and batiks have been full of symbolism and reflects my background and history. My moment in time and place. My fascination for bright colours and textures, and the abstract simplicity of shapes has guided my work through out these 25 years of working with fibres. My greatest influences are the nature, music, photography, textures and the Maya Culture. They all have been in a way my inseparable friends and inspiration.
My weaving skills started in San Miguel Allende, in Mexico, but my fascination for Contemporary Tapestry took me all the way to Lódz, Poland, where I had the opportunity of absorbing a new Culture, life and meaning for my work.

Teaching for more than 13 years in the Anahuac University at the School of Design and Architecture in Mexico City, has also been a very important role in my work . This moved me to create "Textil Creativo" fibre Arts School for almost 10 years.
I enjoy every minute of life. I love weaving, travelling and listening to music while I work.

I think my work will always evolve into something else, as it should, as life goes on, but the essence in it will preserve. I become part of my tapestry every time I sit in front of my loom.
Life is texture! Life is color...life is fun!
