I love being inspired by nature and all its bold colors that make us all feel a certain way.

Ever since I could remember I would entertain myself by drawing illustrations that came out of my imagination. As a child I was in love with art, bold colors and handmade details. I grew up in Lima, Peru, a country known for its rich culture and colorful handmade craftsmanship. I was always inspired and around the fashion industry, as my mother was, and still is a successful baby clothing designer. Growing up in Peru, traveling to many different countries, going to school in California, working as a fashion and illustration designer, has all profoundly influenced the way I see the world and as a result, shaped the art I create.

My Mom, plays a huge roll in inspiring me to not only be a good artist but I good business woman. Artists that have inspired me throughout my life: Many artisans in Peru, Frida Khalo, Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh
