I was born in 1982, the only daughter following three brothers, each as different
from one another as night and day.
When I was a little girl, you would always find me drawing dolls and action
figures. Thanks to my very supportive mother, who never put any limits on my
creativity and imagination, I was exposed to art books and became fascinated with
drawing what I could capture from them.
My Cute and dark style of art began in the earliest stages of my teenage years,
when I became influenced by the Gothic Subculture, which since then has always
inspired me to paint.
After being accepted into a school of fine art in Lleida , Spain, I moved away from
my family and became more interested in painting every waking hour.
Unfortunatly i did not learn in school what i actually do for a living but it helped
me on deciding that PAINTING is what i wanted to do the rest of my life. Inspired
by the Example of my brother Carlos, who traveled as much as he could and lived
life to the fullest, I continued traveling and meeting interesting artist around
Europe, making friends and learning from others.
Working with different artist and styles has stimulated me to create a fantasy
world of surreal creatures with enormous eyes. I also draw much inspiration from
day to day living and my surroundings.
I love children’s books, and have a large collection of them. Not only do I enjoy
the illustrations:
I also find that the stories fire my creativity.
My preferred media for painting are acrylics and oils base cremes they are easy to
use, and the colors blend very well. I cant say that I have any special techniques,
You could say that I work with whatever seems most effective at that particular
moment.
My work is distribute internationally; it can be seen in tattoo shops, galleries, and
private collections around the world.
Those I draw inspiration from include: my husband Matt Griffith, Salvador Dali ,
Jason daquino, Mark Ryden, Colin Christian, Joe Capobianco, Frida Kahlo ,Marion
peck, Trevor Brown, Margaret keane ,Octavio Ocampo, Diego Rivera Leonardo da
Vinci, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jackson Pollock.
