I have a certificate in Botanical Art and Illustration from the Bronx Botanical Garden. I was born in Cuba and I have participated and sold my work in numerous exhibits in New York City, Westchester County, Connecticut and Vermont. Presently I am a member of the Riverdale Art Association, Women in the Arts and Rowayton Art Center in Connecticut. My love of the natural world has inspired my art as well as my appreciation of the work of Georgia O’Keefe’s and that of my teachers Richard Karwoski and Mindy Lighthipe. In the last few years I have won several awards for my watercolors, pastel and graphite work at exhibits in Rowayton Art Center in Connecticut and the Riverdale Art Association.

The pastel art work shown above garners second prize at Rowayton Art Center.
