Artist Statement
Painting keeps me grounded, aware of the moment…
it helps me find balance, joy and piece.
I love exploring the interplay of colors and textures, discovering endless possibilities.
I feel so fortunate to make a living doing what I love while bringing my art into the beautiful world we live in.
My aim is simple yet profound: to infuse joy, positive energy, and balance into both my life and the lives of those who encounter my work. Each piece is a testament to my profound love and reverence for life itself.
PS: I absolutely cherish receiving notes from my clients! Take a moment to read a special one below.
“The women in my family pick a word at the beginning of each year that they want to speak over their lives that year and carry with them from day to day. The word is supposed to be something they want to focus on--maybe something that challenges them or something they just want to bring more of into their lives. Well, my word of 2019 has been "joy." Leticia, I kid you not--I had no idea that your painting even had a name, let alone what it was. After Aaron and I purchased the artwork yesterday, we were carrying into our vehicle and it wasn't until that moment that I saw "JOY" in big letters on the back. I couldn't have been more sure and more EXCITED about our new painting that we bought to hang over the couch in our living room--the focal point of our home. Joy.
I just thought you might like to know how that particular piece has touched another two people's lives. ❤”
