“Creativity is intelligence having fun”

Albert Einstein

Since my early years, I have appreciated beauty, recognizing it as potentially present at the core of all manifested things. As an adult, I felt an impulse to engage in activities I believed would add richness and beauty to my own and others' lives. I followed the call of the creative energy I felt trapped inside me and started walking the path of fine arts.

In the beginning, I was constantly excusing my work for not meeting the idea of what art was “supposed” to look like according to the conditioning of my belief system. Not for long, though. I realized that with each new artistic venture, I was transcending my own judgment and fear of failure and rejection, finding a sense of liberation in expressing my creativity.

This was just the beginning. Each of my future paintings would offer me access to a sheltered state in my mind, where I would become in touch with a greater power within. The art media: paper, canvases, and wood panels became my best friends. I communicated in the language of my thoughts and feelings, “talking” to my media through my senses, using my hands, spatulas, brushes, and paints as tools, uncovering deep emotions and bodily sensations, which were many. I laughed, I cried, I prayed, and my imagination soared. I enjoyed my solitude as the hours went by unaccounted for… and received with gratitude all that the artwork had to say to me. I had entered the dimension of creation, a realm beyond the perception of our physical senses. Needless to say, it had been so healing and empowering that I developed a therapeutic art-teaching style aimed at harmonizing heart and mind – feeling and reason – to foster a balanced approach to life's challenges.

My life experience allows me to relate with ease in a multicultural context. Born in Chile, I lived in Australia as a young woman and settled in the United States in 1980.

As a visual, international fine artist, I channel my intuitive knowing into my abstract and figurative expressionist paintings, synthesizing my experiences.

In addition, as a holistic practitioner for more than 30 years, I focus on facilitating well-being in both English and Spanish for individuals who wish to enhance their experience of body, mind, and soul. In conjunction with my capacity as an artist, my practice draws expertise from previous studies in psychology, yoga, clinical hypnotherapy, and other professional skills to help empower my clients towards the fulfillment of their goals.
