I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1972. As a child I grew up drawing - it was my escape. I set my creative art aside to pursue a “practical career” for almost 30 years. In my struggle to overcome personal life crises, my creative side emerged again in 2019. I began drawing again and then began painting to help express my experiences. It was healing and became an integral part of my life journey. I am a self taught artist who is now pursuing a career connecting with others through the visual arts. My art is inspired by pain. Through it I attempt to highlight our human experience and transition from darkness to light. I believe we can’t experience the light without the darkness. Beauty is in the contrast and the journey. I hope to connect with you through art by evoking emotion and provoking dialogue. Let’s connect. Show more
