About
Founder
I was born in Santiago, Chile in 1966. My family migrated to the U.S.A in 1976 & I currently live in Chicago. I am mother to three amazing daughters who are my world. Besides my daughters Art is one of my greatest passions. I am a self-taught artist. With no formal training, joy and adventure have been my inspiration and my guide. I would describe my art as poetry on canvas. My paintings are an ocean of passion, emotion, ideas and thought poured on to the canvas each and every time I paint. My perspective of childhood approach to art without inhibitions greatly influences my style. A child’s imagination knows neither boundaries nor rules and a child’s art is most pure in form, color and expression. It is the state of mind I enter when I paint in order to accomplish my objective. My attempt is to present the audience a catalyst to the world of discovery and a reflective space, and of course to have fun!

Philosophy
The following quotes by Frida Kahlo embody so much of my own personal philosophy, I could not have said it better.
"The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration."
“Since my subjects are often my sensations, my states of mind and the profound reactions that life has been producing in me, I have frequently objectified all these in figures on canvas.”
Frida Kahlo
My philosophy is simple.
Create, Create, Create!!! Create All the time, everywhere, with what ever is available to me. In This manner I begin to find the most beautiful things in the most unlikely places at unlikely moments.
