I have been creating jewelry for many years using natural materials that I collect in the forest. I grew up in rural Nicaragua, learning about different varieties of nuts, seeds, and woods, experimenting with their textures and shapes, and finding beauty in the details of nature. As a trained archaeologist, I gained a deeper appreciation for the ancestral and cultural uses of seeds and nuts for jewelry and adornment. Now my work reflects my cultural heritage and nature, while experimenting with new elements of design and innovative use of natural materials.
I moved from Nicaragua to Kentucky in 2005 with my wife Amy to pursue my career as an artist. Amy and I work together to bring Naturaleza al Descubierto to local galleries, art shows, and ETSY.
