It was Place des Voges, in Paris, at a gallery called Naïfs du Monde Entier where my mom use to bring me as a little girl, that I knew that some day I would paint like those painters.

Though I thought it would be sooner in my life, I guess I needed to travel, to get married and have children, and to work as a translator first.

I am French with a Costa Rican twist, and I paint the world as I see it. I try to grasp instants of life using many bright, acrylic colors, and I prefer large canvases to encourage people to look for the detail they previously missed.
