I have been a Certified Artisan by the Department of Tourism and the ""Department of Culture"" of Puerto Rico for more than 20 years.
I am fortunate to be part of the Artisan Market in ""La Placita Darsena"" as it is called, located off Pier 1, in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, USA. I enjoy meeting travelers from all over the world who come to explore the Tropical Island of Puerto Rico.
Although I paint on burlap with acrylic paint, I consider myself a Silk Artist because my love is dyeing and painting on silk.
Each of my scarves is individually hand dyed and hand painted making them a ... one-of-a-kind ... by virtue of the process used. Batik, Tie-dye and Silk Painting are some of the techniques I love to explore and use.
