She is the first child of three siblings. 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. After I graduated from a nursing academy, I was married to coconut-shell carver Putra Suteja from Mas Ubud, who was featured as a Novica artisan. We were blessed with a daughter and a son. Unfortunately, after 2 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. I decided to continue my husband? Thanks to God, I had learned a little bit of it from my late husband, so I could manage the carvers and also monitor the production so that the quality will still be as good as my husband's. I'm so glad and proud that so many people in the world like my products; it has really happened because Novica has been helping me through its online marketing.

Today, the income from Novica has increased by 75% compared to the income of my husband from Novica before. I can't believe I have passed the dark-cloudy times, and now I can focus on my children's?

Future, to provide them better education and life. The income I get from Novica customers also keeps getting better and better; it's been a great help for us, and now we can slowly start to do home improvements too. Until now, I've been working as a nurse in a hospital while also keeping this business of my husband? I love the tranquil environment during the night; it's the best time to evaluate myself, what I did today, and also the growth of the business.

I really like wood sculpture, so now I have started to get involved myself in the production and also the design. The production itself is done by 3 men and 3 women; they are wood carvers who work with manual tools according their skills and talents. I want to build a better collection of wood carving at Novica, eliminate items that not sell well, and propose new items that have more potential and satisfy the customers. This way, I hope I can get better sales so I can support my children's?

Unfortunately he passed away in 2009 after a long illness, leaving me with a 3 year old daughter and a 10 day old son. I decided to honor his memory by continuing carving, something I learnt from my father from a very young age. Dad would carve and my mother, brothers and I would finish the pieces.

We worked this way until I married Putra Suteja. He liked to carve coconut shells and we enjoyed developing new styles and designs together, then I would make the samples.

Now that I'm the sole provider for my children, I continue to carve coconut shells, and I also carve statuettes from wood. My children are my biggest motivation to work and to move on.

Thanks to them I do not falter, and thanks to all of you for always supporting me. Being associated with Novica means I can feed my children?

I will always do my best to provide a good future for them. Thanks Novica and thanks to you all, because you encourage me to continue developing new ideas and designs for the sculptures so they will be always liked.
