• I am a college student as well as a student of life. I am an eternal optimist, with a touch of sarcasm. I am in my mid twenties and am married to my high school sweetheart. Art and all things related is a lifelong passion of mine, beginning at 5 years old. The mediums I currently work with are acrylic, charcoal/pencil, darkroom/digital photography. Digital platforms include Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, ImageReady, InDesign, Dreamweaver, and others. Some of the inspirations in my life have been Nature, my great-aunt who taught me to appreciate beauty and creativity and countless artists both known and unknown.

• I have been designing my personal website (latina's lounge) since 2001. Before having it's own domain, the site was hosted on a free server. I enjoy web design very much and took an interest in it after seeing a friend's personal home page back in 1998. There's always something new to learn with web design, which is why I appreciate it. All of my skills were acquired by reading books, online tutorials, visiting websites and more recently, college classes.

• One of my biggest passions is traveling and I have a long list of locations I'd like to visit. I enjoy living in New York City in every season but winter. There are many places in NYC that I have yet to visit. I love visiting museums, going to movies and shopping. Pearl Paint is my Mecca.
