I was born and raised in Perú, South America. I lived in Moraga for 27 years, and now I reside in Lafayette, California.

My interest for art started when I was a young girl. I have been influenced by the old masters of modern and contemporary art like Arthur Bernard who said that “Art should have the perfection of a surgeon and the spontaneity of a child.” I am also inspired by Yury Tremler, Hessam Abrashami, Goli Mahallati, Manuel Anoro, and many others.

My passion for art started in 2000. Since then I have taken many art classes and workshops, and I continue to study art through many different art books. I work with a variety of mediums such as acrylics, watercolors, inks, and pastels.

The subject matter of my art is primarily women in both traditional and contemporary ways of life. I also work with abstraction in a whimsical way and experiment with cubism. I love creating and designing cats and giving them human forms. I use color, patterns, and a sense of humor to give each cat a distinct personality.

My personal journey with art is about the investigation and study of creativity and approaching the artistic process as an adventure.
