I am a student of Gisela Stradtmann, distinguished watercolorist in Costa Rica. 2004 I began painting lessons with José Miguel Yglesias. Three years later I took drawing lessons with Luis Paulino Delgado. March 2009 I attended a watercolor workshop in Mexico with Mel Stabin.
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.

Water and Colors is an art-oriented project. Its aim is to have my watercolors within the reach of everyone. My family and friends have helped me create and develop this Website. It is dedicated to put me in touch with people interested in sharing with me a beautiful and new experience: finding my Self.
