Every cent of every piece sold goes back to our associates in Honduras. Every day, these women expertly craft table runners, pillow covers, shawls, and other fiber arts items. Their income from each sale covers food and medical needs for their whole family, and school supplies and transportation to school for their children.  Ultimately, this work creates dignity and self-respect.

Sharon Kopriva, a Texas native, currently works in Houston, Texas and Hope, Idaho. For more than thirty years, she has worked in both two and three dimensional media. Her career has taken her through investigations of Pre-Columbian cultures in Peru, her own personal examination of her Catholic faith and, more recently, works have been inspired by the spiritual light of the forests in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, muses, and social issues. She earned her Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from the University of Houston in 1981. Sharon has continually exhibited her art since the Fresh Paint exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston that kicked off her career in the mid-eighties. She has shown in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and internationally. Important survey exhibitions include The Menil Museum, 2000, Houston; The Ogden Museum, 2012, New Orleans; the National Museum of Peru in Lima, 2006; The Metropolitan Museum of Monterrey in Mexico, 2015; and The Hilliard University Art Museum, 2019, Lafayette, Louisiana.
