Artist Statement

My passion for fine arts has been in me since a young girl living in El Salvador. Yet, my enthusiasm for the field did not fully flourish until moving to New York and studying for a BA in Fine Arts. After graduating as a Graphic Artist, I began working for a large publishing corporation. And although an adventure in itself, a desk job did not feel natural to me.

So, I did some soul searching and realized in my life, through war, moving and much instability, art was the one constant way of expression I had. As a child, and an adult, I feel and know the power and healing of art making. Now, I find myself teaching printmaking and studying for my Masters in Art and Art Education at Teachers College, Columbia University.

I believe that art is like a diary, another way of expressing feelings and thoughts. Through experimenting and using distinct mediums, my education, and teaching art, I have created a vast realm of ideas. I hope I can share those ideas with you during HOAST. Enjoy.
