I'm a digital printmaker and tapestry weaver. My work is based on my dual Mexican and American heritage. I believe that art can reflect the beauty of what we see around us.

This afternoon Federico Chavez Sosa completed this extraordinary handwoven 100% wool rug created with natural dyes and cut it from his loom.
I’ve just added a link to SiD Nepal’s blog on WordPress. It has information about what they do and explains more about their mission and objectives. This is the group of people that I worked with when I went to learn about Dhaka weaving during my trip to Nepal. There is contact information there for those wishing to work with SiD Nepal.
I’ve just uploaded more pictures of Dhaka weaving from Nepal. Here is the link:

I have just added more pages to my blog. They are in the left sidebar. I have put up my resume, my interests outside of work and a page talking about one of my interests in detail. That page is specifically about Dhaka weaving of the the Limbu and Rai tribes of Nepal.
