About the artist
Vicksburg, MI
I got my degree in Art History in Mexico City, where I was born. I have taken numerous art classes and workshops in the US where I have lived for many decades. I have learned and continue doing so from many excellent artists. The inspiration for my paintings comes from my surroundings, my native Mexico, my travels, my memories and my experiences.
I have tried several media throughout the years. I love pastels, I like their immediacy and color range. Acrylics allow me to do large works. Mixing media ( watercolor, ink , pastel or acrylic) appeals to me to create special effects and textures. I experiment with different papers, boards and canvases. I do my own framing using new or recycled frames. In some cases my husband, John, makes beautiful custom made frames for my paintings.
