Biography

Being creative and artistic has always been part of who I am since I was a baby. When I was a child, I always found ways to be inventive when creating art as well as when playing with my siblings as we would create our own toys and playing scenarios. I believe that the current development of my art and artistic techniques are the result of the many opportunities I had as a child to explore my imagination when playing and expressing myself through art, writing, singing, acting and dancing. I also believe that keeping in touch with my inner child reopens the door to that imaginative world that has no boundaries.


That is why I love creating mixed-media paintings; because I feel that I can explore a world of no limitations when it comes to how I choose to use my materials and techniques. However, throughout my years of academic artistic studies in Arizona, I became more aware of the environmental and health issues involved with some toxic art methods. In addition, I felt in love with the Prescott area and its culture which has influenced me and my art strongly as well. Prescott for me is about health, nature and friendly people from all different world backgrounds and walks of life.


In 1998, as a result of my studies and experiences in Prescott, Arizona, I decided to become more selective of what I choose for my art materials and processes; but I kept experimenting with the natural-interesting items that since before then, have allowed me to give more visual flavor to my artistic creations. That is how I came up with my collection of Urban-Organic Mixed-Media Contemporary and Abstract paintings. I currently use water and acrylic base art materials as I incorporate them with canvas, different woods, acrylic textures, and other natural elements such as: sand, marble powder, grains, seeds, coffee, fibers, and others.


Textures and colors are very important to me in art and in life. Perhaps because of my experience being raised in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico, where I was exposed to colorful and vibrant celebrations among people who hug each other in good and bad times. I like to share and express those experiences artistically but with “a more visual touch;” as I celebrate with them, the vibrancy of love and life through all of my artistic creations.
