I identify as a self-taught artist who specializes in ink art, I like telling stories with my lines and symbols combining the past with the present.  I believe that my art has endless possibilities and it can transform into limitless creations.

At the age of 11 my charcoal pencil was making lines and circles that I couldn’t explain, it was my safe place and escape from reality. Distracted by life, I was disconnected from my art until the age of 36 and after an extraordinary life experience the art beast within myself was unleashed and my artistic therapeutic journey has begun. 

I'm fascinated with ancient cultures like the Greek, Roman, Mayan, and the Phoenician. The old tales and symbols inspire me and I like to combine them with familiar animal and human body shapes. 

Family, friends, and my surroundings add to my inspiration and its translated into my art pieces.
