Event: re-Creation
Dates: 23 Aug 2019 - 15 Sep 2019
I am interested in the creative process of being human as a creator of realities. Parts of the human body appear in my work to depict realization and creativity, as well as the representation of the states of consciousness and the human condition within the unicity in the cosmos as a form of creation.
I mixed media such as oils, acrylic, markers, graphite, and ink to produce this body of work. My artistic process developed from charcoal drawings to mixed media on cotton canvas or linen.

Biography
Born in Costa Rica. I healed with art after brain surgery in 1998 in California, and everything became art! I have exhibited solo and collectively in the US, Poland, France, Nicaragua, Argentina, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. I now divide my time between Southern California and Costa Rica. I am grateful that my artwork is collected around the globe.
I did not choose to be an artist, Art chose me! It found me, healed me, and gave me a great reason to live on this fascinating path I have traveled. I do not cease to be wondered. To me, the artistic creation is an act of Love.
