I was born January 26th, 1970. I was brought up in El Rucio a very small community nine miles south of Mata Ortiz, where I lived to the age of 15. I then moved to Mata Ortiz where shortly after that I began to raise my family and start to learn about making pottery. I have four boys who are all trained as potters as well. My boys are Adrian, Ricardo, Martin and Daniel.

I have had the opportunity to travel a lot in the United States doing shows and pottery making demonstrations. One of my goals is to continue learning English so that I can better tell about the history of Mata Ortiz pottery.

I continue to live and create beautiful pottery in Mata Ortiz and I have a Gallery and Studio at my home. Pottery and painting are my passion but I feel the purpose for my life is to share my art with the world.

I hope you will come visit me in Mata Ortiz and let me share with you the magnificent beauty that is Mata Ortiz pottery.
