"Every person that has one of my dolls receives a piece of the culture. It can remind them who they are, and the people that have shaped their life."

Adriana Felix is a Yaqui artist, raised in Tucson, Arizona who creates detailed clay dolls. Since a child, Adriana was always drawn to art and the details in creating it. Adriana’s parents were raised in the community of Old Pascua. Here she learned to cherish and be inspired by her Yaqui culture. Growing up in Tucson she attended the Easter ceremonies in Old Pascua and was surrounded by the colors, music, Pascolas, Matachin, and the Deer Dancers. These experiences help her create her artistic expression.
