Story Behind the Art:

Benita Cutipa de Lopez received a teaching degree in home economics that included pattern making, sewing, knitting, embroidery, manual arts and pastries. 'I always knew I wanted to do something that would help my country's development,' she says. 'I always wanted to participate in programs that would empower our women, and I began organizing courses for groups of mothers and farm wives from the Puno highlands. At the time, they were experiencing a severe drought. I decided to offer classes to people from marginalized neighborhoods, training them in handicrafts and forming cottage industries that would work with the region's natural resources. I chose alpaca wool as a medium to make garments. I love my work, and am thrilled to be able to do what I love most, while at the same time providing a livelihood for my assistants, other women of my country. My family works with me.'
