 Yagua is Spanish for a portion of the Royal Palm. It has a natural                        beauty of its own, taking life the moment I begin manipulating it.                          My technique involves listening to the shape and texture of each                    individual piece to enhance its own natural beauty. Looking past the obvious,

 I try to find the concealed elegance, grace and mastery within, harmoniously  bringing to life a piece of art that blends the unrefined with the aesthetic.
