This year, I'm dressing up with purpose, exploring themes of home and belonging, inspired by my Amazonian Guarani heritage.
My great-great-grandmother Natividade (her Christian name), from the Guarani tribe, faced hardships, was forced off ancestral lands, but her legacy lives on. Remembering our ancestors' sacrifices helps us appreciate where we stand today. Thank you, Conceicao. TITLE: I Am Corageous
MEDIUM: Mixed Media SIZE: 36" x 60" A heartfelt thank you to my friends at Mosaic Yoga for obtaining the large-scale abstract piece titled "I Am Courageous." This artwork not only enhances our tranquil space but also motivates us to seize opportunities and chase our dreams. Grateful for your support! A collection of uniquely textured paintings infused with lustrous gold metallic pigments. Symbolic of wealth, success, and divine allure, each piece resonates with sophistication, luxury, and a historical reverence for the divine.
Celebrating another year of life today, and it’s a celebration of gratitude. Grateful for the earthquakes and volcanoes, both real and emotional, that shook me up and cleared space for grander visions.
Excited to have the incredibly talented team from Eclectic Brew Productions visiting my studio! Get ready for an exclusive sneak peek at my latest creations. Keep an eye out for our upcoming showcase at Gallery Mar.

MEDIUM: Mixed Media SIZE: 56" x 42" Commission Paintings One&Only Moonlight Basin Big Sky, MT Currently en route to Bozeman, Montana, and thrilled to deliver six large-scale commissioned paintings for One & Only's renowned Luxury Resorts and exclusive private residences, including their inaugural resort in the United States in collaboration with Echo Arts. Each painting embodies the essence of Montana, featuring elements such as Montana soil, foraged sawdust, and a hint of gold pigment, paying homage to the state's storied mining heritage. I'm thrilled to share my new studio space – a dream come true!
Owning a dedicated studio is a privilege, not a necessity. Over my 15-year journey as a professional artist, I've painted in closets, on balconies, and even a fire escape. My story embodies resilience, tenacity, and the power to turn dreams into reality. Believe in yourself, don't make excuses, and own your power. |
This blog was created to share my belief that the art-making process is a catalyst for transformation and personal empowerment. I am living proof.
