I appreciate my God-given talent and believe that art is a healing force. My inspiration is life itself by bringing joy, peace, and healing through the power of my gift. My paintings are my way of touching one’s spirit and soul of others. Art took control of my life and healed me from the scars of abuse. I have helped others in their healing process by sharing what I have learned.” I enjoy working with underprivileged youths in Rio de Janeiro as well as, the United States by offerings ” Art To Heal Workshops” to children and disabled individuals. My art is also therapy for me; it is a cathartic force in my life as well as others. My inspiration is life itself.
