I was born in San José, Costa Rica. I worked as Statistician for 30 years in different state institutions. 2003 I retired and a few months later I began to study painting. Soon I found out I loved watercolor. I have made three solo art shows.

I attended a watercolor workshop during 10-14 May in Florence, Italy. The teacher was Alfonso Tejada, architect and watercolorist. We painted in several places of that beautiful city, like the Bardini and Boboli Gardens.

Drawing two human figures had always been too difficult for me. It was only after attending the workshop with Don Andrews that I could finally make this painting.

I enjoyed doing this painting as I had not painted flowers for a long time.

Going Up

I love this window with no glass. The clear blue sky makes a nice contrast with the darkness inside the building.

I have painted several windows. I like painting open windows full of light. This is a large watercolor, painted with a big flat brush with lots of water.
