Recycled Metal Flower Sculpture with Red Petals, "Mechanical Flower"

Miguel Mejia has received 7 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $400 and the most recent for $700. Proceeds were used to buy new tools and equipment to design and shape his sculptures and also to increase the physical space of his workshop.

This artist uses traditional techniques handed down through the generations and/or creates culturally significant items, helping keep these traditions alive.
