Vaquera?

A red cabinet with a turntable record player, a lamp with a patterned shade, and a TV mounted on the wall above.

What is

Vaquera (vah-ke-ra) means “cowgirl” in Spanish. To me it a word that embodies the unity of art, earth and feminine power. It is as much about myself and where I come from, as it is the spirit in which I want to imbue into every piece of work and creative project.

When I'm not creating ceramic pieces, I am providing art consulting and styling to the Nashville community through the ownership of Texture Creative Studio and participation in Nashville Design Week.
