This piece is the heartbeat of the Tierra Azul collection. Created as a birthday gift for my father, this bear skull—harvested by him—serves as a canvas for a daughter’s gratitude. It explores the beautiful duality of a father: the fierce, protective strength of a bear and the soft, unconditional kindness of a guide.
The skull is meticulously adorned with a turquoise mosaic, a reflection of my own soul’s favorite color and a deep, pulsing tribute to my love for Mexico. These stones carry the spirit of the mountains and the artistry of my roots, wrapping the bone in a vibrant, protective "Blue Earth." Blooming amidst this mosaic are red roses—his favorite color—symbolizing a love that is both delicate and enduring. The contrast of the turquoise and the red captures our bond: two distinct lives intertwined by a single, unbreakable thread of devotion between father and daughter.
At the center of the third eye sits a handcrafted heart, representing the empathy and love my father instilled in me from my very first breath. Nestled upon it is a gold heart charm I wore on a necklace as a little girl—a symbol that our hearts are eternally entwined. This is more than art; it is a monument to my first hero, the man who taught me to find refuge in the wild and beauty in the natural world.
