I am a Washington State based artist, specializing in acrylic painting and mixed media.  The images I create reflect my Mexican American heritage.  I paint scenes from my travels, fruit from the open air markets, brilliant flowers and birds.  My work often incorporates the colors, patterns or images of Mexico and the ancient Aztec and Mayan motifs.

I have extensive experience overseas, which has both shaped who I am and influenced my art:  Japan, Turkey, Peru, Mexico, Rome, Prague and Paris.  This travel was done through educational programs in high school and college, vacation, and living abroad while serving in the United States Navy.  Having the dichotomy of strict military life and the exotic surroundings of foreign countries provided a wealth of rich imagery and emotion to be expressed through my art.  My training in Russian language and culture has also added to my artistic sense.  There are universal themes, especially in pattern, that resonate in my perception of these experiences translated through my work. 

Art can be seen at Front Street Gallery in Poulsbo, WA, a cooperative group of local artists:  Front Street Gallery
Art is also available for viewing at my studio in Kingston, WA, Kingston Artist Tree by invitation.
