I am a fine artist with an MFA in Painting from CUNY Hunter College, 2021. I have exhibited in New York, Amanita, 2024, and Internationally in Paris, Balice Hertling, 2022, Berlin, Passage, 2024, and Buenos Aires, Vergez Collection, 2023. I focus on issues of female passing bodies in the sociopolitical context of Latin America, with a strong emphasis in the psychoactive journey of my personal dreams.

I have taught art to children and adults for over 10 years, In elementary and high schools, private lessons in my studio or the student’s home, and have given group lessons in commercial art studios.

My teaching philosophy revolves around pushing the student to be as creative as possible, showing them that they can do it and they have all the tools they need with my guidance. My main focus is figurative drawing, and expressionistic painting, but can teach anything the student desires to learn.

Drawing

Drawing

Drawing has been my passion since I have memory. I drew nonstop my entire life, and all of my work focus structurally in the process of drawing. I have extensive experience and expertise in figurative drawing and portraiture. Drawing is not only the structure, the skeleton, of any work of art, it’s also art in its rawest form. You cannot lie with drawing, and I love that about it. It’s a mirror of one’s true self.
Painting

Painting

I am an expressionist, large scale painter and muralist. I have ten + years of experience painting and teaching muralism, and I have my own studio painting practice. I show extensively locally and internationally and I am known in the art world for my expressionistic, larger than life figurative/abstract paintings depicting dreams and the female, Latin American experience.
