Visual Art – Portland

When I was four years old I saw an art education program; since then I knew I would become an artist. So I can tell I\'m a Natural Born Artist. I studied fine art at Mexico City\'s \"Academia San Carlos\" for three years beginning in 1988. I have been taking art classes through different institutions and professors; and always experiment with different materials. Now with technology learning is easier, just \"Google\" the specific technique of interest. I become obsessed with whatever I want to learn or make until I accomplish it! I have been apart of many expositions over the years in Mexico and other parts of world. I have won a few awards over the years. My brain never stop working, I am always always busy creating some work of art be it painting, sculpture, fantastic make-up, props, canvas sneakers, art dolls you name it! I\'ll do it all! If I\'m not creating something I\'ll literally become ill! I always try to do the best in what I\'m making at the moment. Sometimes it won\'t look perfect. I just make an other one, and other one and so on!!! My childhood dream has been to be a great artist and I strive towards that goal everyday!
