I was born
in Bogotá, Colombia, South America, and arrived in the United States in the
summer of 1980.
I obtained an MFA
from the Painting and Printmaking Department from Virginia Commonwealth
University.
I have been teaching
art classes for the past sixteen years to people of all ages, including The Virginia
Museum, The Visual Art Center of Richmond, VCU, VUU, and currently at St.
Catherine’s School.
I have
shown my work throughout Virginia, and in Peru, Italy, Belgium, Colombia, and
France.
I was the first recipient
of the Theresa Pollack Artist of the Year Award. I have served as a juror for
different art competitions including the Virginia Museum Fellowship, Scholastic,
and Visual Arts Award for the State of Maryland Arts Council.
My work is in several collections
including:
Sidney and Frances Lewis, Charlotte
Minor,Media General, First Market Bank, Capital One, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond,
Markel Corporation, and Phillip Morris.
