The Nuestro Pueblo collection was created over an 18-year period by an artist who spent eight years living in Central America among the descendants of the Mayas. The portraits, all done from real people, capture both the customs and the psyche of  a people that are being rapidly assimilated into Western life.

This collection has received important honors: it was exhibited by the U.S. Ambassador to Guatemala at his official residence and at the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the Organization of American States.
