“I had a bilingual and bicultural upbringing which continues to weave into the fabric of my art on multiple levels. Media or specific styling does not define my work; instead, ideas & concepts are articulated through the combination and experimentation of multifarious materials ranging from glass & recycled objects to oils on canvas and everything in between. Multiple opportunities have lead to interesting exhibitions in the U.S., South America & Europe. I am a full-time working artist.

I am an artist that paints on silk and acrylic on canvas. I have been inspired to paint on 100 % silk since I am a belly dancer and create dyed silk veils. Ran out of canvas one day and decided to paint on silk. I have been inspired by 2 people from my acrylic paintings. Dana Endsey had offerred a class on Mandalas and soul work and then I learned landscape paintings through Elie from Cafe Elie in Cornelius. I am also a belly dancer and offer workshops in the Lake Norman area.

I am very passionate when it comes to the subjects I love such as art, sociology, family and my beliefs in life. I use my artwork as a medium to Illustrate important contemporary topics.
