- Mama Earth in its creative way of working with color and texture is an everyday inspiration for me. It amazes me how its collaboration with its surroundings is so graceful and beautiful.
- La Isla del Encanto! Puerto Rico...my home land...most definitely my favorite place on Earth.
- My cob space is my most proud moment of design. It took me 2 1/2 years to build this space of dirt, clay, water and straw. The lessons I learned are grand. It showed me that at any level of design if you open yourself to the learnings, it will dance with you and slowly guide you into how it wants to come alive.
- Mi familia! My greatest strength and fans....I wouldn’t be where I am without them. They are so supportive and celebrate everything I do.
- And of course my sister! My twin, my other half...without her my life would not be so exciting...she is my right arm...my better half the best part of who I am ...she is my very best friend and truest confidant, truly the best inspiration ever given to me. I am so blessed!
