Story Behind the Art:
After working for silversmiths for 6 years, Guatemala's Jimenez Family decided to open their own workshop. Since they are all involved in their family business, the Jimenez Family says, 'We've developed a good working relationship in which everyone specializes in a different aspect and we complement each others' work.'
