Artists Statement:
...Life in the tropics gives me enough to get inspired. Using acrylics I paint about motherhood, childhood, family, and the little things in between. Art serves me as a voice to illustrate the permanence of transitory moments in life and how these moments leave unique footprints in our lives. I'm a South Florida artist born in San Juan Puerto Rico. Both of these wonderful places have greatly influenced my color palette which reflects earth elements from the tropical life that surrounds me. Through my art I try to balance the saturation of greens and blues our senses receive when visiting a tropical setting. I was formally educated in Fine Arts (B/W photography and ceramics sculpture) at the fine arts program at the University of Puerto Rico and later graduated from Florida International University (majored in Liberal Studies, Fine Arts, and Art History). I paint about the keys because the Florida Keys make me feel close to the island feeling I grew up in and its beauty inspires me every day.
