"I am an artist, an abstract painter who has been honing my craft through my practice for over 40 years. Full time for the past 30 years. I show my work in galleries around the country and have even been the subject of two mid-career surveys in Colorado museums in the past 10 years. My work is primarily collage (antique book pages and handmade paper) with oil paint on wood panels. I’m also a printmaker, as well as creating work in ceramic, textiles, jewelry and photography. I continue actively creating new work and sharing it with others by exhibiting it. I’ve also created work employing found vintage objects (such as wooden electricians rulers). My work generally has explored my own emotional experiences, by employing objects/ideas that summon nostalgia and evoke modernity at the same time. I am the 16th generation of my father’s family in this country from Spain. My cultural heritage and my life in contemporary society have been rich sources of inspiration. My art continually gives me joy and helps me understand my life and its context in the human condition."
