This artwork depicts a narrow cobble stone street in the old part of Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, the city on the banks of the River Plate where I was born and lived for the first 23 years of my life. The old town is a Unesco Heritage Site and a tourist spot visited by thousands of tourists every year as it still conserves the old buildings of the time of the Spanish, Portuguese and English conquistadores. Many of the old buildings have been transformed into museums and others are restaurants with al fresco dining. The church that can be seen in the background dates to the times of the Spanish Viceroy and it's among the oldest in the country. I used mainly the palette knife to paint this artwork in order to add texture to the old buildings. The sides are painted black and it has a strong wire at the back so it can be hung framed or unframed.

Australia
I was born in the coastal town of Colonia del Sacramento, in Uruguay. I studied architecture at Colonia Preparatory School of Architecture, and art with well-known Uruguayan artists, taking part in several group exhibitions. Looking for an adventure, in 1973 my husband and I decided to move to Australia, where we have lived since then, with a brief stint in the Los Angeles, USA, during the 1990s. Although my primary job In Australia was as a writer – working ten years for the NSW State Government; and journalist, both on the print and online media – I was part owner and editor of the Hispano American Newspaper (print) for 13 years, and Latino America Viva (online) for the past 12 years; I still managed to teach art at Castle Hill Art Society, Bankstown Art Society, Blacktown Community Centre and Fairfield Council Arts Centre. As well as Australia, my paintings can also be found in Uruguay, USA and Japan. My paintings are inspired by the places I have visited in my extensive travels, both overseas and across this amazing country.
