Story Behind the Art:
'Our story begins in a town near Antigua. Gilda grew up in a home of woodcarvers and I grew up in a family of silversmiths,' Ruben explains. 'We began our first steps as artisans while still going to school. We met when we were 16 years old, both very young and very much in love,' Gilda says with a smile. 'We are artisans who work with our hearts, with dedication and love.'
