She has walked across Spain twice, lived and travelled extensively throughout Mexico working to advocate for and promote master folk artisans, created a national award-winning community wide poetry festival, filmed a video documentary about the tin artisans in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and developed Inner Graffiti, a life size painting and poetry project for women and girls.
