Enjoy items from PYD entrepreneurs! This fantastic package features:

Exquisite hand crocheted lace collar in honor of Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

This unique collar is made from recycled material by award winning Somerville artist and PYD parent Consuelo Perez.

Inspired by the special needs of her daughter, Consuelo, born in Peru, reaches back to her indigenous roots to create art using recycled materials. She creates paintings, collages and garments using the most unexpected, unique and eco-friendly materials. Rather than throwing away what most people consider garbage, Consuelo transforms trash into treasure.

Consuelo pursues her love to create original art through devotion to her daughter, Tatiana. While her daughter joins various doctor appointments, therapies & tutoring sessions for children with disabilities, Consuelo knits and crochets.

Consuelo has participated in the Somerville Open Studios fashion show, Beyond the Pattern. Her couture fashions included skirts, necklaces and dresses. Tatiana is often a model for her designs.

One of Consuelo's favorite pieces is a dress made out of video tape. "This is very meaningful to us, because that video was a Barney educational video I bought at the Goodwill for my daughter many years ago. I wanted her to learn then, and now we reuse the video because they are memories," Consuelo said.

Consuelo is also engaged in advocacy and activism, mainly for the Latino community, helping Latino parents who have similar struggles as her to navigate the system, especially the special needs system.

Consuelo has been featured on NBC Boston, Telemundo, El Mundo Newspaper, and is a featured artist of the Somerville Art Council.
