I grew up in Lima, Peru and I was always interested in the arts from an early age, visiting museums of all kinds and archaeological sites. I always liked to make things. After moving to the U.S.A. with my family in 1994, I pursued a career as a graphic designer while I raised my two sons I worked as a preschool teacher as well.
I went back to college to study Fine Arts earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Florida Atlantic University. There is a long advertising, media, editorial design chapter in my life. Lately, I attended workshops at the New York Academy of Art with Dan Thompson and Andrew Conklin to learn more about drawing and painting. For me, creating is a way of life. I had the opportunity to paint Pet Portraits since 2018 producing over 10,000 paintings for customers all over the United States.
