I was born in Habana, Cuba and at the age of 8, my parents sent me to the US alone to avoid indoctrination in Russia to communism.  I was part of 14,000 children that arrived in Miami and were sent to orphanages or foster care.  It was in the orphanage that I developed my love for art.  I would draw pictures to send to my parents to let them know that I was ok.  I learned that through my art I was able to bring peace and joy to my parents.  My mom still has some of these pictures.  I was reunited with my parents about a year later.  After high school, I wanted to go to art school but I wanted to help my parents so I went to secretarial school and went into the business world where I climbed the corporate letter and became very successful.  My love for art was always there.  I am a self taught artist that has worked in many mediums.  In the last 10 years, I have been creating and perfecting the pouring process with Pebeo paints.  I have exhibited in Spectrum and Red Dot in Miami, New York Expo, SOFA in Chicago, San Diego, Dallas and the Hamptons.  I have been published in several art magazines and represented by several galleries.
