I knew fat the age of 5 I wanted to work with ceramics. When I saw at Sesame street show a man working on the wheel. At the age of 19 I had finished high school and didn't know what college or university attend. One day I was home and a flyer came to my house about this Japanese Ceramics School that have arrived to my City in Toluca State of Mexico called MOA. And right away I knew I wanted to take this two year intensive program.
After two years I work for a Japanese company in Mexico city manufacturing Japanese Dinnerware. I worked there for one year and I learn many techniques and gain a lot of experience.
Later I moved to California and work at a production company for about two years.
Later I learn that I was pregnant and moved back to Mexico with my family.
When I had my son I decided I wanted a more stable job and went to work for an office, but my heart has being in clay all my life and I have try to create ceramics on an off for many years. Now that my son is older I would like to spend more time creating pieces and some sculpture at a local Art League. I am considering also start producing some jewelry. I love ceramics and would not mind to relocate if I have the opportunity to work at a ceramics studio again.
