I’m a 26 year old self taught artist/illustrator living in WA-USA with my husband Dani trying to make life as simple and beautiful as it can be, and sharing it for the sake of LOVE.

During the day I work at the childcare center from the YMCA with the best artists, superheroes, and singers of the entire world, the toddlers (they do everything because they want to, and they don’t really care what anyone think. I learn from them everyday); and by night, well, by night I rest. So when do I do art? whenever I feel like, or if I have a specific project, then I’ll work on it all day and all night, since my brain is always thinking about it.

Right now I’m in the search for a good story to tell and illustrate, so I’m thinking about it 24/7, I even have ideas when I’m sleeping (total geek!) Maybe I’ll end up doing something completely different, who knows…

I meditate, do yoga at home, go for long walks, and make mandalas. I also do magic with my thoughts, cook my favorite dishes form Venezuela (arepas) and spend time with Dani, so you may find any of this subjects in this blog, or any other!

Enjoy yourself and have a wonderful day

This Monday was my Birthday! 26… feels closer to the 30th… anyways, I got a great gift from my parents: a gift certificate for an art supplies store!
I got new paint, some acrylics, just the basics, and I decided to try them out. This is what I came up with. Hope you like it!

I just made this Illo. I used acrylics and markers for the background. I really enjoyed making this one. Scroll down to see a little bit of the process.

Trying to develop a little more this little citrus flowers… too psychedelic?

How about some tasty delicious awesome sweetness from all natural organic fruits?
Well, that’s the juice I made for myself last night with our not that new juicer. This time I added some oranges, bananas, and carrots. Next tiem I’ll try to be more outrageous, but for last night it was just great.
And so I got inspired by citrus flavors and citrus colors and this is what came out.

So I started with this and then it became…

…like this!
Actually, they are flowers, and I’m this is the first intent in the process of developing this babies. We’ll see how it turns out to be.

Last weekend while I was in Seattle visiting family and friends, I met at my parents house a 15 year old GOLDFISH!
can? you believe it? I almost couldn’t. My parents where pet-siting this lovely creature who was swimming around super fast around the fish bowl. I think if someone tells me about a 15 year old fish, I would picture it in my head as a slow and ugly fish, but this one, I must say, just change my paradigm about fishes. Do you know about any goldfish that old?
