Services: workshops and commissioned art work

The painstaking process of creating paintings allows me to fulfill a profound need for expression through color and design, appealing to my personal sense of what is beautiful.

Chile, my native country, remains a strong stylistic influence, and feeds my interest in ancient and exotic civilizations. Other South American traditions intensify my sense of design, such as the traditional use of pure, bright colors and rich earth tones.

I live on the edge of inspiration. The creation of art is a constant quivering that I have inside of me. Working in the studio, classical music and my south American roots help me to conjure new images and new forms. Whether it is my latest painting on canvas or furniture, the need for creating art remains a constant in my life.
