I paint from the things that stay with me:
places, family stories, everyday rituals, Puerto Rican streets,
morning light and those little moments that become memories
before we realize we were supposed to remember them.
Pick a collection and wander in.
These collections have their own worlds: finished artwork alongside the photographs, places and observations that helped create it.
01
Coffee cups, pastries, glass counters, neighborhood regulars and the conversations happening while everybody is just trying to get breakfast.
02
Familiar streets, tropical trees, tangled cables, pueblo skies and a place tied to my family long before I began painting it.
03
Not only the postcard. Fruit trucks, storefronts, food, signs and the people keeping the old city alive while everybody else photographs the buildings.
04
Papaya trees before sunrise, hibiscus, neighborhood wires and ordinary mornings that became little places to rest.
Different subjects, different parts of my life, same studio.
Germany, Savannah, New York, Colorado and the places carried between them. Art made while moving through homes.

Totes, stickers and useful little objects carrying pieces of the artwork into everyday life.
Shop Studio Goods →Prints let a work travel. The original carries the actual surface that came out of my studio.
These are the actual paintings:
paint thickness, brush marks, revisions,
texture and all the little decisions
that happened while making them.
Once an original leaves the studio,
that exact object belongs to one collector.
Art history, Puerto Rican stories,
studio notes, tea, research,
strange little discoveries
and whatever sent me looking deeper this week.
