My work as a contemporary realist began with an unconscious intent to understand and hold onto personal experience. All of my rich childhood travels around Spain, France and Portugal in the 1950s were inexplicable on the urban New Jersey playground. Living in a world anchored by visual information, I developed a perhaps heightened visual awareness where language may have failed me. Compelled to narrate, I paint a world I can live in—full of color, balance and harmony. I view reality as a collection of abstract shapes. Once representation is reasonably established, I start over looking for the grace of each mark, translating realism into a compilation of poetic vignettes. I am balancing the attributes of each shape, pushing truth to the edge—just short of falling off. Rocking between accuracy and playfulness, I hope for the ‘real’ picture

I am a contemporary realist painter working in New Jersey, known for conceptually ‘lived-out ‘ stories relayed in ‘psychedelic precision’ and public art. My work as a contemporary realist began with an unconscious intent to understand and hold onto personal experience. Born in NYC, I grew up back and forth between urban New Jersey and my ancestral Santander, Spain. Comfortably lost everywhere, I developed a heightened visual awareness where language may have failed me. Compelled to narrate, I paint a world I can live in. As a precisionist focused on an urban industrial world and simultaneously on my European experience, I could reconcile two very different cultures in paint. Felix Angel, in the catalog for the Coors National Exhibition, wrote, “…this granddaughter of Spanish immigrants paints with a desire to grasp reality in detail, as if this is the best way to define and become a part of it." I was awarded fellowships from Puffin Foundation, Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation, Inc. and two from New Jersey State Council on the Arts. My 4 large-scale porcelain enamel on steel murals, “Between Manhattan and Meadowlands” are installed at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Transit System’s Bergenline Avenue Station in Union City, NJ. I will create a public art installation for NJ Transit Market Street Bus Station’s (Paterson) 2019-2020. I am currently preparing "DINERS—Then & Now" in porcelain enamel for the city of Worcester, MA wayfinder project. My work is in the collections of Museo de Arte Moderno y Contemporáneo de Santander, Spain, Newark Museum, Montclair Museum, Jersey City Museum, Morris Museum, Noyes Museum, Zimmerli Museum, NJ State Museum, the estate of John Cardinal O’Connor, New Brunswick City Hall. I have lectured at museums, schools, hospitals, and caregiver support groups, and was an E.B. Osborn Fellow at the Purnell School, Gladstone, NJ in 2015. I am featured in two books—a textbook “Fearless Creating” (Dr. Eric Maisel, 1995, G.P. Putnam’s Sons and “Artists Observed” Harvey Stein, 1986, Harry N. Abrams, Inc., NYC.
