Wearing my own creation, sketching a cityscape, circa 1994

I paint what makes my heart ache, exploring the nuances of loss: death, displacement, loss of control; bittersweet nostalgia for those once-in-a-lifetime experiences and moments that will never return. I combine mundane and surreal elements in my work to create scenes that capture our most intimate moments of transformation, loneliness, and longing.

I work in a variety of media, with my main focus in acrylic painting. I also enjoy non-dominant hand sketching, linoleum block printing, watercolor, digital drawing, and working with found, natural, or recycled materials.

    Looking forward to seeing more of your art. It’s wonderful! I’m in Aruba now but hope we can “talk” once I get back. Not sure if this was a message just to me or all your followers, but I was happy to receive it. Cecilia
