Artist Statement:
"Before I walked, spoke or
even tasted life… I saw color.
I continue to view the world
with all of it’s tragedies,
wars, peace and celebrations
in color and recognize that
the world we live in, is not
just black and white.
For the last 15 years my
paintings have been hidden,
only on display to family and
friends. I have learned that
to grow as an artist I have to
share them and give them
wings. I am mostly a
self-taught artist.I paint in
a very primitive style that is
whimsical and fun.
I was born in San Salvador, El
Salvador and raised in Redwood
City, CA. I married into the
Mexican and Puerto Rican
culture and have come to
learn, love and enjoy all of
the different music, food and
celebrations that are now a
part of my life. The language,
art and history, are all
things that play a major role
in my work. I have found that
I paint in “Spanish”. It was
my first language in the
spoken world and continues to
be the language of my soul
when I sit down to paint.
My paintings are images taken
from my life...
