Artisan - Maria Hernandez Perez
Zinacantan, Mexico

I come from a family of nine siblings. My father died when we were little so that my mother began to stay and raised us. We learned to weave to help with the expenses at home and I have dedicated myself in this craft. Today, I'm married and still weaving using the backstrap loom and my husband is helping me contribute for our family in order to support my daughter.
