A bright array of colors and myriad of floral motifs are among the many hand painted details this delightful alebrije has to offer. Small parts are separated for shipping to protect from breakage.

The artisan says about what her art means to her: "The doctor diagnosed me with cancerous sarcoma, but I'd look at my son and I knew my work in life wasn't finished. I began painting as a form of therapy, and I've learned to believe in life and to have dreams."

Bold, Unique, Mystical…”

When I saw this intricately painted sculpture, I fell in love. It really spoke to me. When I received it, I was not disappointed. It is meticulously made. I am a Taurus so I gave it to myself for my birthday. Thank you Teresita for creating this special piece. It makes me smile and will be with me always!

Although her medical treatments were essential to treating her cancer directly, Teresita attributes her recovery to laughter, positivity, and her ability to create art pieces every day. Each of the products that Teresita has made has uniquely given her a piece of strength to carry forward and live life to its absolute fullest. Teresita is known amongst her colleagues as a positive light and is a tremendous example of strength and virtue to all cancer survivors, mothers, and women worldwide.
