I'm in Heaven

How does an artist get to heaven without dying? Take a flight to the city of lights........Paris!!

Paris is a city that  pleases all of your senses. It is not just about the art museums. It is the architecture, the food, the wine, the pastries and the beautiful sound of French language in your ears. I had visited about 23 years ago, but it was only a two day stay which is only a peek at what the city has to offer. This time, I did not want to visit any other city in France.....just Paris.

On this trip, my priority was to visit a few museums that I had never visited and re-visit the Louvre. It also included just taking in the city at a slow pace by picnicking on the banks of the river Seine. Although I did not take any paints or sketchbook, I tried to capture every moment with my eyes.....and of course, my camera.  Here's a collage of photos around the city. More stories to come.

What a beautiful City!

FEC - Federacion de Estudiantes Cubanos

The FEC is an organization, founded in 1967,  at the University of Miami dedicated to keeping the Cuban culture alive in the UM community. My fellow Cuban artist, and MWS member, Marilyn Valiente, asked me to join their yearly event  "A Week of Cuban Culture". During the week from February 27th to March 5th,  the FEC invites the student body to enjoy Cuban food, music, and art. 

I am happy to represent my culture and speak to students that may want to find out more about my people, and more specifically my art.

Marilyn Valiente, Elizabet Chacon and I will be exhibiting on March 5th from 12 -3 pm. Join us at Carnaval Cubano, an explosion of Cuban flavor, with traditional food and Cuban art.
