I’m a Puerto Rico Native since 1985, self-taught watercolor artist, creative by birth and a learning-addict. I'm also a beach, coffee and music lover + Bohemian at heart with a vintage soul. I was born in a family of creatives, my father is a musician, my mother is a pastry chef and a sewing genius. My grandmother, the one who started this creative family is the ultimate DIYer, crochet guru, fashion designer, among many other creative hats, oh and she cooks delicious. Since I was a little girl I learned many creative skills that I gather from all of them, I explored the ones that reasoned with me and put them into practice. The one that I loved the most was painting, and by that I mean painting with crayons and markers in a coloring book with the occasional doodling on the white space of the pages. I gotta say, I was the best at staying inside the lines.
In 2003 I had to choose a career path, I felt the pressure of studying a career that will pay the bills, because I had in my mind the “starving artist” myth. Since I always felt I deep connection with nature, I decided to study Natural Science and I became a Biologist which I love. My paintings are inspired by nature, plants and its connection to the moon cycles, having studied Biology inspires me and makes more easy my painting process. In 2010 I made a Master’s Degree in Education, which helps me impart art workshops and courses.
In 2016 I fell in love again with my old love, painting, I had lost my first baby due to premature birth in February 1st 2016, and watercolor painting became part of my therapy during the healing process. Since then I have been using art & creativity as a way to express myself in a different more colorful way. My baby gave me a second chance to be a better version of myself through creativity. It’s no cliche when people say that life is short, fragile and it can change in a second, so don’t let one more day pass you by since you start living the life you truly love.
