About Me
I have visited Peru a couple of times with groups from the Diocese of Worcester, which has a link with the Anglican Church of Peru. We visited missions and projects in the pueblos jóvenes of Lima and Arequipa. I have also visited Cuzco & Machu Picchu, Cabanaconde (Colca Canyon), Lake Titikaka, Cajamarca, Chiklayo (Lord of Sipán) and Trujillo/Huanchaco.
I find Peru to be a delightful country and and was very interested in the archaeological sites.
Why I like NOVICA

I love "Paxot Holy Family"

Testimonial For Jose Canil Ramos
I love "Paxot Holy Family" for the beauty of the painting of the figures. It is a centrepiece at Christmas.
"Most of the time I work with the idea of something, rather than with its photo, because I feel it hampers my inspiration and then I'm not happy with the final product."
