A Tapestry of Color and Culture
I invite you on a journey of color—deep into the jungles of my creativity. Through expressive brushwork and heartfelt moments, each painting offers a glimpse into how I see the world: through the lens of memory, emotion, and the vibrant cultural tapestry that shaped me. From the warmth of the Caribbean sun to the rhythms of my Jewish-Venezuelan roots, color becomes my way of telling the stories that live inside me.
To me, color is more than pigment—it’s the language of roots, wonder, and wild imagination.
about me
I’m a self-taught artist and the founder of Greenleaf Mindful Montessori preschool, where I guide children through both academic learning and creative exploration. My artwork is rooted in my cultural heritage—growing up in Venezuela, and St. Maarten, surrounded by the colors of the Caribbean, and shaped by my Jewish identity. I paint to capture emotion, memory, and the beauty of everyday moments. When I’m not in the studio working on commissions or new series, I’m teaching art to children, helping them discover the joy of self-expression through color and play.
