I was born in Venezuela, Caracas and moved to Florida when I was 9, where I finished middle school. I then moved to Costa Rica where I graduated from High School in Blue Valley School along with acquiring an IB Diploma. It was then that I fell in love with the visual arts. I had the opportunity to exhibit my work and after that I knew I wanted to be an artist. After graduating I moved back to Florida where I attended Miami Dade College for a year and then moved to Gainesville to finish my A.A. I plan to obtain my BFA in the University of Florida, which will be a stepping stone towards my long-term goal of receiving an MFA and eventually become a professor of painting and drawing. I also aspire to someday exhibit my work in a gallery and eventually I would like to open up my own workshop so I may teach anyone that wants to learn and create art.
