My favorite pictures

Yesterday was my last photography class, I wish we had more time, keep learning more and more everyday.I guess what you have to do is practice and keep shooting different subjects and don't be afraid of editing if necessary. I learned about Photoshop, it seems fun and relatively easy to use, I still prefer to take a good picture and just do minimum changes. Something I reaaaally love is the Mac enviroment, oh dear, I got hooked. It is like weating new glasses, everything looks just perfect!
Some of the pictures I toke.

I need a website

I can't wait any longer... I suppose to know all the coding, making, designing by now but my classes delayed for one semester. What do I do? I want something for now, let's say for the next 6 months, then I can go and build my own from scratch or at least be knowledgeable enough to pick a good service. I don't like the freebies with a lot of ads, it too busy and cheap.

Handmade Wedding

I haven't share much about my wedding, maybe because I'm still walking on clouds, feeling the same tickles in my stomach, ok I'll stop before you get upset.
Well as an artist I had to make my wedding day special for everybody and all of them brought home a little of art, handmade tiles with a engraved thank you message on the back.

New visions

This blog has been a release for me, I used to post frequently about my day to day as an artist, described my process, shared thoughts and laugh with you guys. Right now my schedule changed tremendously and to schedule a video chat is very difficult to plan, I work while I am doing other things, as people say women are good multitasking. All this new way of creating art is giving me new way to express and that is what I wanted to share today. She is the first sculpture of this kind, let's see what I do next. I'm thinking on picking only one day at week to post, maybe Sundays will be the best.
Should I post about Father's Day? well... my dad is the most influential image I have since I was a kid, thanks to him I learned how to communicate through art. I'm a daddy's girl and always be, he is absolutely proud I take art as the fuel of my life. I love you papi and thank you for all your lessons, your caring and all the kisses.

Only latinas

I just finished installing a group exhibition for this Friday. We are a group of latin women artists ando for the first time we are going to show together. Three of us are venezuelan, our art is very different but we have so many things in common, the love for the material, colors, textures and our culture. Are you wondering what am I talking about? well you have to see it with your own eyes.

Two more Art Shows

Wow I can't believe I would be this busy by this time of the year. I have two exhibitions is a row, one is actually this weekend at the Barnum Museum in Bridgeport and the other in New Haven Connecticut.
I wanted to take more time to finish designing my webpage but I better take care of business and interact with people, I need my doses of art, talk in person with art lovers and forget the virtual world for a moment. I thought about doing less art but that is not possible so the sacrifices would be maybe sleeping time and day dreaming.

A little bird told me...

That I should make more birds, and I did. I had been having a lot of positive feedback and orders of birdies so I decided to start making more of them. I don't think I'm compromising the consistency of my work because those birds still have the ethnic influence; my statement also mention my passion for birds. By the way this bird on the window is my not- too- secret admirer, he follows me everywhere and knock the window constantly for attention, sorry I'm married cutie.

Self-portrait

I had to draw a self portrait for my drawing class. Believe or not this is my first self-portrait.

Mixed Media 18"x24"

forever alive

Today I have been practicing shooting small objects and the best way was taking my little tiles, put them in different light and background situations. It was a challenge but I'm happy with the outcome.
