About the Artist:
Born in Havana, Cuba in 1957. My art education began in Puerto Rico at age 10 (1967) with Argentinian Professor Antonio Gantes. Artist Jorge Rechani was my teacher and mentor during Middle & High School years (1970-1975). I attended The Art Student’s League in Old San Juan, and Casa Candina Ceramics Studio in Condado, Puerto Rico. I received an Associates in Art degree (1976) from MDCC College at Miami, Fl., A Bachelor in Fine Arts Degree (1978) from Southampton College of Long Island University. From 1979 to 2013, I lived and worked to provide my children an education and to fulfill my professional goals. I had the opportunity to live in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Florida. Throughout this period I participated in several Plein Air Competitions at Deering Estate, Fl. where I achieved First Place & Honorable Mention. I created a series of 12 Religious acrylic paintings for Sr. Richards Chapel at Palmetto Bay Florida. During the years I have created large oil paintings, being portraits, botanicals and landscapes which are now at homes throughout the United States & The Caribbean. I moved to Asheville in 2014, where I am now pursuing my Professional Artist life. I paint wood bird houses while enjoying outdoors. Last year I explored Buddhism and Yoga practice. I created a series of Oil and Watercolor Paintings which I donated to Asheville Community Yoga in Woodfin, to help raise funds for their expansion. I continue to create Yoga themed watercolors and have incorporated them along with: “The Flight & Stay Asheville” Bird homes Series 1 and 2 at Woolworth Walk Gallery, Downtown Asheville.

Each piece of my work is simply a gift from my soul to the recipient”
