Welcome to my portfolio!

I am an artist and teacher from Caracas, Venezuela, currently living in Mexico City. From a young age, I have had a love for art and the process of creating.

I attended Columbia University in New York City, where I studied Visual Arts, focusing mainly on drawing and printmaking.

After university, I worked in the art world and then made a career change to education. While figuring out my career path, my artistic side took a bit of a back seat and I spent several years without creating art.

Over the past six years, I have been returning to my artistic practice and exploring themes of identity and place through different media, as well as pursuing classes to deepen my skills and knowledge. I am excited to continue expanding my practice and creating art to put into the world!
