I was born in 1974 in Lima, Peru. Since my early childhood, I have felt art to be an integral part of my life. My formal art education began at 11 with a private art teacher. At 14 I began studying painting and drawing at the Art Museum of Lima. Later, as a teenage, I pursued studies under Austrian artist Adolfo Winternitz, founder and chairman of the Art School of the Pontificia Universidad Católica of Perú. In 1992 I began to study Industrial Design at this school.
After a year of design studies, I was torn between my love for design and my passion for art. So I consulted Professor Adolfo Winternitz, who advised me to follow what he knew to be my passion: art. I heeded the advice and changed my major to art. In 1995 I traveled to Mexico City to study art for a year at the Universidad Autonoma de Mexico. In 1999 I was awarded a scholarship to study art at Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia, USA, where I received my Fine arts degree in 2001. Varied life experiences, including studies abroad and divers work opportunities, have made me a resourceful artist, with skill and knowledge in fields ranging from traditional art in several medias to digital design.
Presently I live in Columbus, Georgia, where I work as an artist and graphic artist/designer. My artworks are in private collections in Peru, Mexico and The United States.
