Embassy of El Salvador team

Sharing a few pictures of the exhibition of my work and my collection of handcrafted limited edition textiles and ceramics Gabote, held on the 11th of December at the Embassy of El Salvador in London. I am very thankful to my husband for his amazing help to prepare things for the exhibition (cutting out illustrated pieces, video, the list is long), the Embassy of El Salvador for their immense support and all the people who came to the exhibition. It is my first solo show and I am very happy that my animals and creatures were given the opportunity and space to celebrate and be introduced to the public. Great to see them swim not only in the ocean of my imagination : ) hopefully they can remind others about the magic and beauty of our natural world.
Christmas is now in our doorstep, and looking forward to having a few days with the family to then continue with preparations for Playtime in Paris at the end of January. I'll share more details about this soon. Happy Christmas!

Finalmente tengo un espacio para compartir algunas fotos de la exhibición de mi trabajo y mi colección de textiles y cerámica hechos a mano de edición limitada Gabote que se llevó a cabo el 11 de dciembre 2014 en la Embajada de El Salvador en Londres. Como mencioné en otros medios sociales, agradezco mucho a mi esposo por su increible ayuda para sacar todo adelante, la Embajada de El Salvador en Londres por su gran apoyo y a toda la gente que vino a la exhibición. Es la primera vez que realizo una exhibición individual de mi trabajo y contenta de que mis criaturas marinas, mis animales, los pescados que tanto amo, hallan tenido un espacio para celebrar y ser introducidos y que naden no sólo en el oceano de mi imaginación sino que ojalá puedan inspirar y recordar a otros de la magia y belleza del mundo natural que nos rodea. 
Ahora viene la época navideña con la familia y luego seguimos con los preparativos para Playtime  en Paris. Luego les compartiré más detalles sobre este show. Felices fiestas!
