I was very glad to have been a part of a fundraiser event
for the Dream Act (Development, Relief and Education
for Alien Minors) this past Friday at La Salsa Nightclub.
The organizers Celia Ruiz and Irania Ortuno suggested that I
draw the faces of several activists and friends
on that night of Rock En Espanol.
It was a great time!
To me, my artwork is my fingerprint, it is who I am. I started drawing before I was six, and painting portraits at twelve years old. I want to move the viewer through my art: to laughter, to tears; to look inside themselves. My murals are about social and cultural subjects that show my love for people and beauty. My paintings are mostly portraits where I aim to capture not only the likeness but the the personality, the being. United States

What is it like to be a caricature artist :)
To be a caricature artist for me, is to enjoy work as if it was play. Getting paid is a bonus.
A caricaturist like me spends a lot of her time sketching, thinking about cartoon bodies,
colors, art supplies, etc.
Some of the usual things a caricaturist is asked on a daily basis are:
How long have you been drawing? I usually answer: oh, about half an hour!
Where did you go to school to learn caricatures? Well, of course!
I went to the Caricature Institute of Las Vegas, Nevada! Not really,
I went for Fine Art at the Kansas city Art Institute.
I learned caricatures at Circus-Circus in Las Vegas.
I really live to paint and paint to live.
Will you share your thoughts and questions in the comments?
I would love to hear from you!
