about:
Born in Peru, I moved to New York to earn a BFA in Visual Design from Pratt Institute, and I also received a MFA in Painting from Hunter College. Since arriving in Williambsurg, in the late 80's, I've actively participated in the Williamsburg-Brooklyn artist community through publications, collaborations and exhibitions.
I live and work out of a 100 year old industrial loft in Brooklyn, formerly the site of Marshall's Photo Tinting Oil Paints- (my window shades feature delectable baked goods in my dreams). As a multi-faceted being, I am moving from print to web technologies for work. I worked for decades in print as a graphic designer and art director for clients such as Clariol, United Nations, and others. I am fluid in HTML, CSS and working my way through Java. Housewares, wrapping paper, toy designs, greeting cards and t-shirts feature my artwork. My artt has appeared in numerous galleries and museums, wall murals, underground comics, and in books and magazines. Art exhibition reviews have appeared in the New York Times, The Brooklyn Rail, among other publications. I've attended various artist‘s residencies, including Yaddo, McDowell, and a residency abroad in Finland. Taking advantage of my mixed visual arts background as a digital designer and as a traditional trained artist, I can lecture on the benefits and thrills of a cross disciplinary approach. Lastly, I am a self declared enthusiast and expert on trippy hippy children's picture books and black light posters of the 60's. Full rein is given to these enthusiasms on my flickr group called Eye Candy Trippy Hippy. |
