ABOUT ME
Showing my artwork is my preferred way to communicate with others. I paint and draw objects from my day-to-day, or the locations I travel to. I take my painting tools with me to all trips, so the work begins in the field.
As a child, I said I would grow up to be a painter (an artist cliché, but it's true!) But let's just say that life in the Dominican Republic wasn't as steady, and I moved on to more pragmatic thoughts. Art was always present in the form of literature, dance, or music; I always was, and still remain, a hard-core doodler. I became a chemical engineer, and I work in manufacturing, all of which I absolutely love.
The process of moving to the US to form a home of my own has awarded me more time, a great partnership, and new forms of expression. Welcome to my mind!
