I will try this one more time. It's crazy that it's so hard to write about who you are and why you do what you do.

I was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico back in 1976.  I was lucky to have been raised on this island, which allowed me the unique opportunity to enjoy my Latin roots and the privilege of being a US citizen. Through my childhood I was always exposed to the arts and continued to explore the craft all the way through college.  I was able to take advantage of the University of Miami, Universidad del Sagrado Corazón and finally completed a BFA and an MFA at George Washington University.  

 

After an attempt at the traditionally accepted business world, I took the much-needed leap into the arts. I focused my time and energy on developing my true calling and became a full-time visual artist. For over ten years now I have continued to communicate through the arts. This has given me the opportunity to grow, share my passions, concerns and views.  As part of my continued development, I was able to join the School of Visual Arts in New York during their Summer Residency and the Vermont Studio Center for a one month session.

 

My body of work is in constant evolution. Currently I am exploring the complexities of the self and expressing my findings via geometric abstraction. Simultaneously I am working on a yearlong meditative project inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi and Ellsworth Kelly’s found cup works.
