During the rest of the year —
My multicultural upbringing and life as a dancer have led me to dream of capturing movement, time, and memory in clay.
While inscribing hieroglyphs, I imagine I am breathing life into a mysterious past and lifting the veil between myself and the original scribes who wrote the same words centuries before.

I strive to create a piece where movement and culture merge into a balanced whole, and ancient knowledge can be reborn through a new vision in the present.
Whether the piece ends up with an overt indigenous identity or a simpler essence of motifs, I hope to infuse my work with the mysterious playfulness of my Mayan ancestors.

My exploration and study of Mayan anthropology and hieroglyphs continues through the development of my work in ceramics.

Although we are products of our past, I am excited by new directions.
Working these days in clay, my history includes over 26 years as a soloist and principal dancer with some of America’s most acclaimed concert dance and Broadway companies.
Some of you may also remember me from my thirteen years of cooking/running Three Stones Mayan Mexican Cocina, which my husband and I started as a vehicle for sharing my mother’s ancient family recipes.
