The challenge lies in not loosing sight of what is important in making us feel complete and in harmony with our experience as women in today's world. That is so unique and different for each woman, and there is no room for being judgmental.

My work is an attempt to try to remember that reaching a balance is possible, that having a life where you are a mother and a woman is defined in a large part by love, something that can flow over into your work. I combined vital aspects of my experience, such as the music my husband made before our daughter was born and the sound of her heartbeat before she was born, and put all that together with my work with silver, which is something that fascinates me and is the way I express myself. 

My husband and I both love music.  He plays in a band called Tristeza [Sadness] while I play in Loopdrop. Music is a huge part of our lives, but the biggest thing that happened to us was on October 7^th, 2006, when we welcomed our little Valentina into the world and our liveschanged forever. My heart grows bigger every day that she is with us and I am very thankful.

I want to live in a world where we don't forget to look for beauty in our everyday lives, beauty that almost always requires action and responsibility to take shape-interior beauty that extends outward by the way we experience family life.  Being part of this world, we should be more and more united with those people that choose to live together in peace and with the nature that surrounds us.
