I tend to keep my work playful to make my audience become reacquainted with their genuine selves. My favorite mediums are watercolor, ink and gouache on paper. I strongly believe with art anything is possible, even the possibility of creating global awareness.

My art journey began over 18 years ago while studying abroad in Paris, France. Currently, I create art everyday because it soothes my soul. At an early age, I attended The School of Visual Arts in New York City, Parsons School of Design in Paris and The Art Institute of Miami. In 2004 I received my B.F.A. from Ai Miami and began my career as a designer. My passion remained deeply routed in watercolor painting and the expression of the human figure. 3 years ago, my art was shown at The Fearless Artist gallery in Wynwood during Art Basel week in Miami, FL. In 2016-2018, my art opened in a solo exhibit in Pembroke Pines, FL. I have also been fortunate to collaborate with Bucketfeet. My hand painted illustrations titled, “Senses” were a featured design for the worldly known sneaker brand. Currently, the company Threadless distributes my design world wide.
