Beginning to understand

I have found purpose in my creative practice. Painting is an experiential practice, that requires presence, time and dedication. In recent years my paintings explore colors and landscapes that root me back to my Latin American heritage. In my creative work I seek to overcome the numbness that so often accompanies the daily grind. Working to sustain myself and studying to pursue my dreams is not an uncommon story. I hope my work can inspire others to seek out their creative paths, and keep their passion alive. I feel it is important to feed the soul. Without my creative outlet I think I'd have a very different outlook in life. Thanks to my obsession with color I find myself appreciating the smaller details in life .
