Artist Statement

As a child growing up poor in Brazil, I was introduced to the darker side of humankind. The result was, I started painting to bring light and colour into my life. I know there are still terrible things happening around the globe. I do not want to repeat what I see on the front page in my art. To me that would only perpetuate the sadness in our world. I was born to paint life in a different way rejoicing in the beauty our world has to offer. The world I paint is an explosion of positive optimism and happiness that so many of us are looking for these days.

As an artist, I feel lucky to have been given the gift of creativity so that I may share my vision of a better world. I will never forget what it was like to be poor and that is why it is so important to me that my work be accessible to all people. For me, art can reflect the celebration of the simple and good things in life. This is most important to me.
