About our Artist: 'My name is Tomas Sota Gutierrez and I was born in Cuzco in 1967. All that I am and all I do today was learned from my father. He taught me how to design and create apparel. When I was a little , I'd go to the workshop with him. He'd pull up a stool so I could watch and learn how he used his tools. I learned to iron and to turn belt loops, among many other simple tasks. By the time I was 12, I could make my own clothes. It was incredible being able to spend all that time with my father. By observing, I learned that getting the things you need in life isn't easy. We have to work hard, wake up early, be reliable and above all, do everything with passion to achieve our goals. It's very important for me to teach others all I've learned so that anyone interested in this art can become independent and achieve their dreams. My plans and hopes for the future are to make sure my creations reach more people around the world so they can have a bit of Peru through my designs.'
