I work intuitively with oils, acrylics, graphite, & gold leaf. My goal is to fuse the acts of painting and drawing into layered surfaces suggesting a sense of atmosphere. With lyrical scrawls, gouges, deep scratches and repetitive mark making, my work references the realms of nature, spirituality, and visceral sensation.
My creative journey began in my birthplace of Caracas, Venezuela and has taken me to live in cities as disparate as Seattle, Santa Barbara, Chattanooga, Miami and now Greenville, SC.
"My paintings come from a deeply intuitive place. Without needing words, they express a sense of mindfulness and the tranquility of simply being. Through my work, I hope to offer a window into the beauty of nature—a space for reflection, connection, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us."
My studio is a refurbished mid century church in downtown Greenville, SC. See the CONNECT page or send a message to set up an appointment to discuss a commission or visit the studio.
My artist husband, Rey Alfonso, our family, friends and the most loyal and impassioned collectors I could have imagined have walked beside me on my path.
My work is powered by depth of engagement with my subject matter + materials and a healthy dose of obsession with the natural world.
