Studio located in Santa Ana, California

Santa Ana, California

I specialize in painting people and buildings. You might notice that most of my paintings show signs of human (or inhuman!) life: faces, figures, clothing, and habitations. Although I am rather a quiet loner by nature, I have always been fascinated by people and how they live, feel, and interact.

Vivid colors, charming old buildings, past eras, old horror movies, family secrets, ballroom dancing, passionate music, and romantic or exotic dresses all inspire dreamy pictures in my mind.

South of the Border

Down Mexico way...

The first painting I ever sold was a portrait of the artist Frida Kahlo (I love her dresses, as well as her art!). Some of these paintings are based on scenes I see every day in my home city of Santa Ana, or on vintage photographs of my family (Mexican and Yucatan Indian, on my father’s side).
