I'm a Brazilian-born, self-taught artist who loves working in bold color — oils, acrylics, pencil, gouache, and whatever else the piece calls for. Most of my inspiration comes from traveling, my garden, and photos I take along the way — memories I bring back to life at my easel, from moments that will never return. Some pieces start differently: headphones on, classical music playing, letting the pencil follow the sound before I know what will appear.

I paint big canvases for empty walls, but I'm just as happy working small: mini canvases, custom single-page calendars, cards, and things you can wear or use, like scarves, pouches, and dish towels. For me, art is simply about sharing warmth, color, and a small piece of my world with others.

Feel free to continue to the gallery, the arts of Sue Rebouças, and wander through my work at your own pace.
