I was born in Santiago, Chile. My parents immigrated to the US when I was 11 years old. I have lived in many places in California, but the coast is what I love the most.

I am a mother, a grandmother and a retired teacher. Art has always been part of my life. I enjoyed introducing my students to many forms of Art while I was teaching. I learned a lot from their free self expression.

A few years ago I decided to go to the Mendocino Art Center where I was reintroduced to my love for Abstract painting. I still hear the words from the instructor, “Just paint!”. That’s all I needed to hear.

I call my Art ” Organic Abstract Painting” because the inspiration comes from within. It feels good to paint and see what the colors and brush strokes magically create on the canvas.
