Born in Havana, Cuba, I came to New York to live with relatives as a young child.
The next several years of schooling would lead me to Spain in a semester abroad program through Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia concentrating on liberal arts, languages and painting. Those months would prove to be exciting and indicative of the harbinger of things to come.
After obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Art, with emphasis on Studio Art, from American University in Washington, DC, I moved to Zaragoza, Spain for several years culminating in numerous still lasting friendships and memories.
My favorite subject matter is the landscape and I love trying to interpret an unexciting misty haze or a lackluster concentration of flowers by intensifying and changing reality with vibrant colors. In my opinion, oils can achieve this as no other medium can.
