What Inspired You to Make This?
We have been going to Burning Man for many years and have often thought about making art for the event. The lead artist Mark Ramos was inspired by the adult size rocking horses in Puerto Vallarta. He also wanted to show traditional Mexican art. Shelly is in the style of Oaxacan wooden toys.
