'When I was still a little , my mother and father let me 'help' paint their traditional Guerrero-style clay figurines,' Maria says. "I loved to watch them work and learned everything from them. They were my best teachers. We buy our figurines and paint them by hand. We like how the colors combine, and we accentuate the statuettes with repeated dots, feathery lines and fanciful flowers. Our inspiration comes from nature and from our own imagination. Just like my parents did, I began teaching my this art when they were young. After school, they liked to help us paint the background colors. Family unity is so important! All of our designs are painted by hand with love and care. Our imagination takes shape in each one.'
