I’m a self-taught artist. I’ve been painting and drawing ever since I knew how to hold a pencil and a crayon. As a child growing up in Brooklyn, I was very shy, quiet and always reading, writing or drawing. I probably knew deep down inside that I'd be involved in the Arts in some way shape and form.
I enjoy painting with acrylics and I also enjoy pastels. I love having a variety of mediums at hand because I never know what I'll be creating next.

I paint to give voice to my feelings. I paint because by putting color on a blank surface I can create an interpretation of my world. My Art is a process of discoveries. Experimentation with colors and emotions. Acrylics, Pastels Watercolors and Pencils are all mediums used to fabricate a reality that may heal and bring peace, understanding and joy to those who view my work.
Simple and honest. Simple as a mother's kiss.
The warmth of the sun. A family gathering.
Dancing. Loving. Crying. Emotions that are constant, in a world that changes faster than we
can wipe our tears.
I'm blessed to have been given this gift of
freedom. Painting and drawing frees me to be who I am.
Share. Share your wisdom. Your "talents" Share your happiness and live a simple life.
I believe that we're all responsible for our own happiness. Painting and learning about Art & Life is a huge part of my personal happiness. I love sharing this part of me.
I also love to ride my bike. I love the outdoors and gardening. Also love to Shop. Shop & shop some more. Eat. Cook. Relax and watch movies. Take pictures. Learn about mostly everything. Take pictures and travel.

Hi Ivy,
Love your story & your art. It's unique & not your usual "Latino" art. I feel like I've been writing ever since I could spell :).
