I believe all my work in clay reflects my background as an architect from Peru. I changed careers when I came to US, but playing with design is always in my heart.

I build my pieces with slabs used as structural components; that is how my horses are a reminiscence of gothic columns. My lamps are little buildings with walls and windows to let the light through.

Each of my pieces is an experiment: with different clays, different firing and color techniques, structuring different creatures and textures. I work the structure first, then I try different textures and firings; at the beginning I did a lot of raku firings, now, I do wood firings: I use a barrel contraption and other ways. I still use regular cone firings, specifically for the containers; I collect rare plants, so, I create containers to go with their specific characters ????

I love ancient cultures; many times, I make my objects look like old relics found in a ruin. There is a story to go with that.

All my pieces are works in progress, as I am. More than anything I believe clay is playing with mud, and what can be wrong with that?
