Artist Statement:
I am an artist, I feel tranquility when I am creating, I feel content when I paint. I love to doodle. If you walk around my home you will see doodles everywhere. A lot of my work is based on my doodles. Much of my artwork reflects the joy and radiance of life. I dream about what I will paint next. I can sometimes see thefinished painting in my thoughts. It’s mostly about trips I have taken, placesI have lived in or about my hometown: Buenos Aires, Argentina. There is something very happy and peaceful about the colors that I use.
Color has always mesmerized me—especially bright and vivid colors. I was born in Buenos Aires, avery colorful city in every aspect. I went to Art School back in the 70's,practiced art therapy with children, and taught art to grade school kids for 20 years. Then, still trying to find my voice, I went back to school for graphic arts. I tried my hand at original art greeting cards from all my doodles and am now back full circle, working full time on my first love, painting.
I brought up my son believing he should follow his dream. He is. He's a professional photographer in NYC. Taking cues from him, after much soul searching, I was very fortunate, thanks to the support of the people in my life, to be able to retire from teaching and am now following my dream. I have never been so happy.
