I have always painted as an outlet. I like to work with rich, bold colors and brush strokes. My process is building layers upon layers of paint and letting the colors complement each other as the painting comes to life. I feel colors exude a certain energy when combined. They vibrate.

I also like to lather the paint thick to create texture and weight. It can certainly anchor a room.

As a graphic designer, I use the Pantone color system, and this has inspired many of my paintings’ beginnings. I always have a color palette in mind.

Thank you for visiting my site.

I am a Miami-based artist originally from Nicaragua who creates abstract, textured and non-textured paintings, digital art, and illustration.

After graduating from the University of Miami in Graphic Design and Art History, I moved to New York City to work at Christie’s auction house in the client advisory department advising art collectors. I then worked as a graphic designer in publishing at Scholastic, MacMillan USA, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Oxford University Press and University of Texas at Austin.

I have designed art catalogues for art galleries, logos and branding for fashion and interior designers and Nickelodeon. I am a published illustrator for Zen Bride and Mini Zen Bride with Running Press Book Publishers sold at Barnes & Noble, Walmart, Amazon and other retailers.

My artwork is in private and public collections including West Kendall Baptist Hospital and Nicklaus Children’s Hospital.

Open for group art exhibitions or gallery showings.
