About me
I am a watercolor artist living in Canada, inspired by nature, art, and the beauty of biodiversity. Having lived in different countries, I bring unique experiences and perspectives to my work. My art is shaped by the support and knowledge of friends, students, and nature lovers. I hope this journey brings new adventures, fresh inspiration, and more color to my life and art.
Paper, pigments and soul
Painting whales and nature with watercolors is a process filled with inspiration and purpose. It starts with observing the natural world whether it’s the graceful movement of whales or the beauty of plants and landscapes. I draw ideas from real-life experiences, photos, and conversations with people who love nature as much as I do.Using watercolor paper, brushes, and vibrant paints, I create art that reflects the connection between life and water. I start with light washes to form the base, then layer colors to add depth and texture. For whales, I focus on their flowing movements and the ocean’s colors, using soft strokes and natural tones to bring them to life on the page.This creative process isn’t just about making art it’s about connecting with people who share my passion for nature and whales. Each piece I create is a way to show the beauty of biodiversity and why it’s worth protecting.Painting nature and whales has changed how I see the world. It’s taught me that art can inspire others, raise awareness, and play an important role in conservation. It reminds me of the powerful connection between creativity and protecting the planet. Through my art, I hope to bring people closer to nature and spark action to care for it.

Art with Purpose
Creating naturalistic illustrations is a detailed process that requires dedication and teamwork. Collaborating with environmental foundations, I contribute watercolor illustrations that help teach others about biodiversity and raise awareness about the impact of human activity on the environment.These illustrations are used in educational materials, outreach campaigns, and conservation projects. Each piece combines art and science to tell a story, inspiring people to connect with nature and take action to protect it.My work is part of a larger effort to make biodiversity advocacy accessible and engaging, using the beauty of watercolor to highlight the importance of preserving our planet.
Workshops for Education and Expression
I have had the privilege of creating art workshops for renowned foundations, including the Jane Goodall Institute, Desierto Azul Chile, and Kennedy Foundation Chile. These workshops are designed to support educational initiatives, teaching participants about biodiversity, conservation, and the importance of protecting our planet.Beyond education, I also create spaces where people of all backgrounds can express their feelings and emotions through art. These sessions foster creativity, connection, and a deeper understanding of how art can inspire personal growth and a stronger bond with nature
