I was born in New York City, and lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina until I moved to Austin at the age of 13.  I have loved to draw for as long as I can remember.  I remember sitting for hours and drawing  anything I could.  My plan was to attend art school, but that didn't exactly happen.  I have 2 children, and while raising them, I pretty much stopped drawing until the summer of 2000, when I decided to take a painting class.  That reminded me how much I loved art.  I am still experimenting and learning on my own, teaching myself as much as I can.  I am discovering what type of paintings I enjoy doing, playing with different techniques I learn from books and magazines.  Well, with much encouragement from my family and friends, here is my work.  I hope I can keep creating art as long as I can.  It has been very rewarding and so much fun!
