The work requires intense patience, as Asunta Pelaez executes the composition on the reverse side of glass panes. Reflecting the artistic traditions of Cajamarca, Peru, this piece offers a luminous accent to any décor.

"Christmas gift from my mom"

This is beautiful and arrived in perfect condition. It really is an outstanding work of art and I am thrilled every time I look at it. The colors and details are lovely and the slightly raised section circling the mirror adds dimension.

"Beautifully handcrafted"

This mirror is very similar to one my mother had hanging in our house. This particular one will be a wedding gift for a young woman who is discovering her Peruvian past. Que lindo!

"Beautiful Design and Attention to Detail"

The Asunta Pelaez flying Hummingbirds 6-drawer jewelry box is a delight. The quality of the painting is extraordinary, and the overall craftsmanship of the box is of very high quality and shows the attention to detail of this artist. Could not be happier with this unique, beautiful work of art. Anyone who appreciates artistic quality will be thrilled with Asuntas designs. The box was well packed and delivered promptly.

"A cherished heirloom!"

Special thanks to Asunta Pelaez for creating this masterpiece! It arrived today and it is so much more beautiful than I anticipated. Wow. It took my breath away. I was so excited that I gave it to my mom right away! It was supposed to be a birthday present for March. No way I could keep it hidden for so long! This is a truly beautiful piece of art work. I love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Confronting Adversity

Confronting Adversity

In 2016, Asunta was diagnosed with a serious throat disease. She has no health insurance and uses her earnings from NOVICA to fund her treatments. She also has a husband and her workers who depend on her. Through all this, she has shown such perseverance and strength and continues to work hard and balance her responsibilities.

Preserving Traditions

Preserving Traditions

Asunta uses the traditional Peruvian technique of reverse-painted glass. Brought to Peru during the colonial period, every detail is done by hand, requiring great skill and patience. She teaches the technique to others through her workshop and hopes they will continue to practice and pass down the traditional technique to keep it alive for future generations.

Moving On Up

Moving On Up

Asunta's sales have increased more than threefold since she joined Novica. When Asunta first started out, she had a small workshop with two part-time assistants. Now she is able to rent a larger space close to her home and provide work for more people.

Microcredit Financing

Microcredit Financing

Asunta Pelaez has received 8 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $1800 and the most recent for $2850. Proceeds were used to invest in the purchase of wood, paint and lacquer for production.

Job Creator

Job Creator

In addition to the artisans she employs full time, Asunta works with one temporary artisan — another NOVICA artisan who helps Asunta with the most physically demanding parts of her work because of her illness.

Enabling Education

Enabling Education

This artist is currently supporting and providing for the education of their children, grandchildren, or children in their community, whether it be at the primary, secondary, or university level.

Profound Impact

Profound Impact

Asunta's sales are critical to supporting herself, her elder husband and her workers along with their families. Her personal health situation makes each sale that much more important.
