“Dear Mother Nature, thank you for making us feel tiny, grateful and inspired!”
“I want to impart on the canvas what has been deeply ingrained in my subconscious: enchanting images of my underwater explorations, the eternal sounds of ocean waves in my studio
and the textural feel of nature.”
Welcome to My Virtual Art Space
The textures and colors of the corals, the movements of the tides and fascination for marine animals deeply affect the rhythm and flavor of my work as an artist. The amazing grace of nature and capturing moments of beauty continues to fill me with wonder and delight. So does the window that I open for the world to see through my paintings and photographic images.

Sea-Spirations
The glorious ocean and captured moments while photographing the sea are my main inspiration for this series. My aim is to transport you into my version of the magical deep blue sea.
Ocean Expressions
This series focuses a little more on realistic imaginings while still being expressive interpretations of Mother Sea.
Mar y Tierra Series
This series focuses on a mix of the Mother Sea & Mother Earth. I’m either immersed in the sea or walking along the beach.
