About the Artist

I was born in Bolivia, in a little town named Guabira near the jungle, giving me the oportunity to live my life close to nature. At 17, I moved to Chile to study psychology, which I am also passionate about. After graduating I pursued my dream of traveling the Americas, and to do so I learned how to make jewelry with macrame and natural materials found in nature. To support myself I sold my jewelry in the streets, fairs, and beaches.

I started my journey in Bolivia and then on to Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, Edcuador, Colombia, the rest of South America, and all the way up to the United States. Before I knew it, five years had gone by! It was a wonderful experience, living a nomadic lifestyle and meeting new friends from around the world. My sense of community and love for others and nature grew along with my desire to create, express myself, and share. Every place I visited was unique and inspired me in its own way and my technique improved along with my imagination. I learned to incorporate many different elements from the spaces that surrounded me, to discover their beauty and teaching, and to express myself through my art.

After five years traveling, this year I decided to go continue my studies in psychology. Most recently, after traveling in Cental America I decided the best place for me to continue my studies was in Costa Rica. I am now studying here for my masters in psychoanalysis. Since I canĀ“t travel anymore I decided to make a website so I can still sell my work and share the magic of natural jewelry with others around the world. I hope you enjoy it too. If you have any comment, question, or you have an idea for your own custom jewelry, please feel free to email me.
