Art is a way to reconnect with that child that at six years old discovered her love for art, it’s how I feel the world around me and within.

I like to use stippling technique (ink on paper), but I also work with acrylics, and pastels; I enjoy surrealism and portraits. for me it's about he intimacy with each piece, the process. My favorite part about doing portraits, is giving life to the eyes; feeling how my piece begins to stare back at me as well. I have been enjoying creating portraits by stippling, I can get lost for hours, dot by dot. The end results are magical to me, and I hope others see the magic that I see as well.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in people's stories, specially in artists that I admire. I like to learn about them, where they come from, how they create, how they see the world; we all come from somewhere, we all have a story and if we would only listen to each other more, we'd find more inspiration to live in an authentic way. I also find inspiration within me, in my own feelings and in my own story; we all must also honor who we are.
