I am a designer and teacher from Venezuela & Puerto Rico. Spanish is my native language but I am fluent in English with an (almost) native proficiency. I was incredibly blessed to grow up influenced by various different Latin-american nationalities, sub-cultures and accents. This makes me specially qualified to share a wide range of cultural undertones and nuances from an insider's perspective.

I am a practicing painter living and working in Brooklyn. New York. In 2008 I graduated with a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, and received an MFA from New York Studio School in 2011. In 2014 I received a Fulbright Fellowship to Leipzig, Germany, where I lived and painted until earlier this year. I teach art in a college setting as well as at several art centers in the New York area, to students ranging in age and skill level, in a variety of media and techniques.
