biography
My earliest memories are of creating art. While studying art in college, I realized that I possessed a very limited view of the world and of the role of art in diverse cultures throughout history. I put my art studies on hold and began to study foreign languages to learn different perspectives and to analyze my own creativity.
I attended college in Mexico, France and Puerto Rico, obtaining a BA in Spanish and then another BA in French. After finishing my graduate certification in translation I worked as a translator and interpreter for 14 years. My insatiable curiosity for art and culture has taken me to 24 countries on 5 continents. During my linguistic studies, travels and career, I continued to explore different creative mediums including painting, photography, screen-printing, furniture, sculpture and jewelry design at the Atlanta College of Art, Georgia State University and the Escuela de Artes Plásticas (San Juan, PR).
I received my BFA in furniture from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. My experiences and travels have given me a much broader view of art and the world and have taught me to not only scrutinize my own art but also my motivation. I don’t strive to copy reality or to recreate what I observe but rather to interpret my experiences and emotions through color and shape and to create something that originates exclusively in my own mind.
