de la luz : light-infused design
Throughout creation,
the canvas of life is being revealed,
ever changing and mostly unseen.
An image is captured "of the light",
begging to be shared.

Whether working with clay or a camera, I am guided by curiosity, observation, and a lifelong fascination with form, light, texture, and color. My work is less about the subject itself and more about the act of discovery - finding beauty in unexpected places and revealing it through a personal lens.
My creative journey began in clay. As a young artist, I shaped vessels from the earth, exploring the relationship between form, texture, and function. Looking back, I realize that pottery taught me how to see. It sharpened my awareness of line, surface, proportion, shadow, and the quiet power of restraint.
Years later, photography became a natural extension of that same way of seeing. While the medium changed, the creative impulse did not. The forms I once created with clay, I now seek through light. Whether I am photographing a vast landscape, an intimate detail, a shadow, or a weathered texture, I am drawn to the same visual qualities that first inspired me as a potter.
Today, I see my work in clay and photography as part of a continuous artistic journey. Both are rooted in observation, discovery, and a desire to find meaning and beauty in the world around me. As I move forward, I hope to continue sharing these images of light while remaining open to wherever the creative path may lead me.
