Why did you decide to pursue a career in the Visual Arts?
My artwork/photography has been always the guiding light in my life: my first love, my passion, my dream. Even thou I had a 'day job' (as I was a single parent). Economist by training, now a full time artist/photographer, studied also painting, sculpture, line drawing, history and perspective drawing, and in the process of acquiring Master Artist International.

As a art maker (long life process) I would like to inspire, to create a dialog and nurture human spirit, and ultimately to make a lasting contribution to the art society, and communities all over the world: this is a dream I always remember. My art work has been recognized nationally and internationally, and brought me to the places closer to my heart.

While working at Universal Studios, I've privileged to be a part of the Board of Directors.
