Artist Statement

I paint daily and life is my inspiration. I am always looking around to see what is new? What is going on? How people are moving? What's happening? 
Growing up in Brazil will always have a profound influence on my art. Tropical color and music are present in my work . 
My primary medium is acrylic. It gives me the flexibility to add layers, to experiment,to build up a piece until I am satisfied with the final idea on canvas, wood, or whichever surface I choose. 
Art is my addiction and therapy . My mind is always working and searching to start "fresh" in a new direction.
