John Suazo believes that all things have life, a spirit that exist in one spiritual existence. "I hope that by looking at and touching my works, one can fulfill that missing piece of knowledge we seek...that certain piece of art called self-expression."

"I began sculpting in 1974 while I was a student at the University of New Mexico, majoring in political science. I was inspired by constantly watching my uncle, Ralph Suazo, who carved in cedar. I feel that my sculpture is a reflection of my inner self - each piece beginning deep inside me. The stone seems alive… wanting to tell me a story and, in turn, I tell my story, so we both work together harmoniously to bring about an understanding."
