Her father is a hard-working wood carver and her mother sells garments. She is the first child of three. I'm Ni Putu Sri Ekawati from Bali. I'd like to introduce my wood carving collection to the world. People say I'm a stubborn woman with strong principles and that I never give up. I like aerobic, yoga and also reading. I came from a simple family that strongly maintained Balinese customs and discipline. After I graduated from a nursing academy, I was married to coconut-shell carver Putra Suteja from Mas Ubud, who was a featured artisan. We were blessed with a daughter and a son. Unfortunately, after two years of marriage, my husband passed away after suffering from lung cancer for almost a year. He left us when our little boy was just born. My heart was broken and I fell so deeply into sadness. I saw no future; everything was so blurry in my vision at that time. I never expected that I would be a single parent. I felt that life was so cruel, unfair and too tough for me, but life must go on. I had to take care both of my children while I worked as a nurse in a hospital. One of them was still just a baby. Every time I saw their innocent faces, I felt something heavy inside my heart lighten up my spirit. I remembered my responsibilities for their better future, something that I and my late husband discussed and really wanted. Children shouldn't know hard times and suffering. The handmade touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
