Lilliana Guzman

"Painting is a learning process that requires taking courses, being informed, and above all, experimenting without fear of failure."

"I had a joyous childhood growing up in Tiquisate, a paradisiacal place in southern Guatemala. It has nice warm weather... and it is filled with palm trees. To me, all was happiness as it inspired in me a sense of freedom.

"I am the daughter of a doctor and a nurse, and I have two brothers and two sisters. Somehow several of us got involved with the world of arts. My older brother has an amazing artistic talent and my youngest sister specializes in handcrafts. She is Monica de Castellanos, a Novica featured artist, and she specializes in ceramic angels.

"I moved to Guatemala City when I was teenager and later, when my two children started to go to school, I took some art classes with renowned artist Miguel Angel Rios. But then I had to give them up to spend more time with the children, and I began to design apparel for women. That was one of the most satisfying periods of my life.

"Eventually I returned to painting with the artist Maria Victoria García and have continued to paint fueled by the same passion I felt when I was a child.

"One of the first paintings I ever did was a still life, in 1974. I never sold it because it is very meaningful to me and it takes place of honor in my house. I’m still passionate about painting and have sold several compositions, given some as presents, and painted a few more for my son so he can decorate his house.

"Painting is a learning process that requires taking courses, keep informed, and above all, experimenting without fear of failure. I am inspired by colors and textures, as well as by everything that is around me. Becoming known as an artist in my own right has been a challenge – an interesting and gratifying challenge.

"I still design apparel, but now only during my free time and I don’t have a workshop anymore. I also enjoy making handcrafts, reading, and decorating my home. I also love planting and looking after violets.

"Personally speaking, what I find most fulfilling is spending time with family and friends, chatting with them and being close. It makes me feel very happy.

"My art has given me many satisfactions and much happiness. I love it when family and friends say they like my canvases, that they feel inspired by them, or they feel invited to reflect on something.

"I'm happy that Novica has invited me to become part of this project, and I hope that my art will reach the hearts of Novica customers. Each of my paintings is borne from my imagination and bears a little piece of my heart, so I hope the composition you chose may transport you to a place of harmony and inspiration."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

UNICEF Market offers triple win pricing, where YOU the consumer, Children from around the world, and Artisans all benefit.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers. Each of these intermediaries adds cost to the product, and that cost is passed on to the customer. UNICEF USA partnered with NOVICA, who works directly with artists through their regional offices in Asia, Africa and Latin America, allowing purchases from UNICEF Market to go directly from the artisans to fulfilling customer orders. By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.
