  • Cheryl Conway-Daly

    Executive Director

    After spending eighteen years as an academic researcher, Cheryl traveled to Guatemala in 2009, committed to working with grassroots organizations focused on women’s empowerment. After several months studying Spanish, she spent the next five years partnering with local NGOs whose core mission was to transform women’s lives through access to economic opportunity and developing their leadership skills. Cheryl has a degree in Economics and a Master’s degree in Macroeconomics and is experienced in all aspects of program management and fundraising. She co-founded Multicolores in 2014 and is the co-author of the award-winning book Rug Money. 

    “Multicolores is love, commitment and support, brought to life by the artists’ colorful palette and creative voice.”

  • Ramona Lucía Tzunún García

    Production Coordinator

    Lucía is 23 years old, and she loves culture and art, especially Guatemalan art. She is an artist specializing in embroidery techniques, which she has been practicing since 2018. She holds a degree in Business Administration and has certificates from various courses and workshops she has attended. Additionally, she has completed three levels of an English course and aims to master the language completely. Now, drawing from her expertise, she intends to share her love for art, knowledge, and leadership with artists from both disciplines to continue delivering the best in her artworks.

    “Multicolores is a place filled with love for art, growth, and humanity, inspiring a deep appreciation for Guatemalan culture and tradition.”

  • Nancy Cochoy Chex

    Nancy worked over six years as a teacher for children and adolescents before specializing in clinical psychology. She started collaborating with Multicolores in 2017, leading individual and group therapy sessions, workshops and activities aimed at optimizing the artists’ mental health. Nancy is passionate about the organizations’ programs and is committed to supporting the artists through their self-discovery process, helping them to recognize and strengthen their skills.
