Born in Argentina, I now live and paint in Southern California and the South of France. I have painted and drawn all my life, and started exhibiting professionally in 2006, after retiring from public school administration in California. I have had numerous group and solo shows in the USA, Panama, Costa Rica, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, France, Hungary, Italy and in Asia: Nepal and China. My watercolors, pastels and acrylic works have won many awards.
