Heart Candle Holder (Glazed Fired Clay) – Lizbeth Rodreguez - Mexico, age 10
Milagro Center
My name is Lizbeth Rodreguez
and I am ten years old. I was
born in Mexico on June 10,
1997. I live with my mom, dad
and my five year old sister.
I’m in fifth grade at Orchard
View Elementary School and
my favorite subject is math. I
like soccer and running is my
favorite hobby. I also like to
read the Bratz books. The
thing I like about art is that I
get to draw and my favorite
thing about the Milagro Center
is that I get to spend time with
my friends.
Figure of a Woman (Plaster) – Luis Borroto - Cuba, age 16
Studio 2000
Luis Borroto is sixteen years old. Originally
from Cuba, Luis and his family arrived in the
United States on January 23, 2005 and

impressionism, realism, and the study of
Ancient Greeks. His work is also influenced
by his Uncle, who is a sculpture instructor in
his country of origin. Luis enjoys any
physical activities and also likes to spend
time with people to make sure they feel
comfortable. Since God is his number one
priority, he also likes to attend church. Luis
