I was born and brought up in Chile and have been painting ever since I can remember!

 

My family and I moved to Australia when I was a teenager and I moved to live and work in New Zealand in 1987. I started to paint more seriously there, taking regular classes with well-known Australian and NZ tutors and artists.

 

In 2010 I completed a Diploma in Creative Arts at The Learning Connexion in Wellington NZ; in 2022 I qualified as a Certified Tutor with the Learn to Paint Academy in Australia.

 

I describe my art as Contemporary Impressionism and enjoy painting in the outdoors, especially nature, seascapes, and landscapes. I am especially inspired by the desert and seaside but since moving to the Dandenong Ranges I am painting more local subjects I paint mostly in oils but I am also adept with watercolours, acrylics and soft pastels.   

 

I have exhibited in several galleries and at art society shows as well as my own art exhibitions, where I have been successful in selling my works. My paintings can be found in businesses and private homes in Australia, Chile, the UK, USA, France and New Zealand.
