I wish to continue my work as a painter using oils, acrylic, watercolors and other mediums. I see myself as a lifelong student of art and hope to continue the learning process through professional studies and association with the artist communities in The greater San Francisco Bay Area and The greater New York Area. I also wish to share my insights and skills with others who desire to learn how to express themselves in the visual arts by offering private and group instruction. I am happy to create a piece at your request as well as provide instruction to both beginners and more experienced artists of any age.
EXPERIENCE
I am an independent artist self-employed since 1994. I am classically trained and my styles can best be described as impressionism and expressionism. I have an extensive clientele in my native Colombia, Chile, Spain, The U.K., and the Caribbean. I have taught both individuals and groups using one-on-one and class instruction. I have developed and held workshops and conferences in various art styles and art history.
