Latest Update “I am a graduate of the Cultural Institute Cabañas de Guadalajara, Jalisco. I always felt an incredible... Latest Update

“I am a graduate of the Cultural Institute Cabañas de Guadalajara, Jalisco. I always felt an incredible passion for oil painting and its magical secrets. Not only from oils, but from art in general. I believe art reveals the deepest part of a human being, and reflects their ability to dream and create.

“I believe in self-expression as a way of being original and innovative; information goes hand in hand with each artistic expression. If you do not fill your mind with knowledge, it is difficult to know how to express yourself in a pleasant and free way.

“My greatest inspiration is my daughters; they are the creators of these magical dreams behind color. Art is merely an emotional activity. Without being in contact with them, inspiration goes away; my daughters are the inspiration that makes me constantly creative.

“Thanks to technology, I set out to create a more flexible way for more people to have that direct contact with my dreams, using the giclee technique. This beautiful technique allows me to deliver an artwork with incredible quality to my clients, with perfect details where even the strokes are seen with naturalness and light.

“Giclee has given me a modern and incredible way to show my work with enormous respect for human emotions. Without them we are nothing. Every thing we do leaves a trace of emotion and delivery that is impossible to erase, so it is important to reflect each one of these colorful dreams.”

Original Artisan Story

"I consider myself a tranquil woman, creative and with a passion for art. I majored in fine arts and industrial design, and am working on a master's degree in education and expression. I set up a small studio where I work and also offer classes in painting.

"To master this art, I had to study, practice, observe and discover my own creative voice. I love Mexican handicrafts and also our fine art.

"My own paintings are surrealistic and, naturally, inspired by symbols, by my emotions and by my desires. I work in oils and acrylics, and my daughters are my models. They have always been my source of motivation in life. Their images are present in my paintings but I suspect that these images are a representation of myself by way of them.

"I've always liked to work in a very personal way. I feel that this helps me find a better form of inspiration. The ideas in my canvases arise from inside me, thus I don't depend on other factors or resources. I love the fact that that painting results in works of art that are unique, with a style of their own. Yet the greatest challenge is to be innovating all the time with ideas.

"I think the most difficult times in my life were when loved ones died. Even so, my life has had much happiness, such as the moments spent with the family. I like jokes and music, and we laugh off our mistakes even while learning from them.

"People who choose my paintings will find a personal identification, as I transmit a positive and agreeable message. I try to invite those looking at my work to release their imaginations and dream.

"One of my own dreams is to open an art school someday with a gallery and an art supply shop."

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.

WIN # 1 You Save!

Handmade goods from developing nations usually pass through a series of intermediaries before being purchased by retail consumers.

By skipping steps in the traditional supply chain, you can buy high quality items for less than the regular retail prices.
