Tolteca Chicano, Mexican Palm, $300

Tolteca Muerte, Cedar, $400

The carvings I create are influenced by ancestral patterns from Mesoamerica. Wood as a medium reminds me of the universal relationship, we have with each other across the globe as peoples of the Earth. Each piece has a unique story.

Some have been hollowed to be used as functional planters, others are culturally charged and most serve as guardians of a place.

I am a designer plus builder of landscapes and homesteads including small-scale farming, rainwater harvesting, adobe construction and rock work.

All my work is dedicated to Tlaloc (Tlalli meaning Earth + Octli meaning sweet water = when rain touches earth).
