Mental Health Counseling - Expressive Arts - Original Art

Art in My Life

Painting is how I explore the connection between my inner world and life. It is a conversation with color, movement, imagination, and the unexpected. I enter the creative process with curiosity and total uncertainty, allowing each painting to unfold through attentive presence and discovery. Painting is an active, embodied process of paying attention, where meaning emerges through the dialogue between myself, the materials, and the unfolding moment.
In addition to my therapeutic work, I am a dedicated visual artist. I exhibit my work both in my studio and as a member of the Latin American Women Artists of Houston. https://www.lawah.org/about-artists
