Mary Cruz Chavez
Artist
Pagosa Springs, Colorado
I lived in California for four years where I learned faux painting, custom finish and restoration of antique furniture. I have been living in Pagosa Springs for six years. I started art classes two years ago and have found my love. Art is a major part of my life. I have been told my drawings are alive. With ceramics I have found expression with my hands. I would like to thank my American family for all the support and love they give me and to my buddy “Sandia” for being patient with me. Thanks to my friends for supporting me during my work and thanks to my teachers for teaching me. We always have open doors in our lives, but we are too lazy to take the opportunity to see what is there. We look for excuses because it is easier than taking the time to do what is right.
A very special thank you to my Father, teacher and friend… God for loving me.
