Step into a Tropical Paradise

I grew up in the tropical land of Costa Rica, surrounded by lush greenery. I spent my days climbing trees, playing outdoors, and listening to birds chirping. My mom had plants with colorful flowers everywhere. I was amazed at how vibrant they were with their perfect color combinations. Indoor plants made the house feel like a home, and outdoor plants and trees created a beautiful, cozy garden.

I've always had a creative spirit since childhood. As an adult, I pursued my creative passion by studying graphic design. But, life took an unexpected turn in 2012 when I moved from my tropical homeland to the US for love. While excited for this new chapter, I'll be honest; it hasn't always been easy. I often felt nostalgic and homesick; a part of my heart was left behind.

Seeing anything tropical stirs memories and reminds me of home. Deepening my connection to my roots and inspiring me to bring the beauty and vibrancy of the tropics into my work.

This emotional journey made me realize how deeply my homeland, its tropical culture, and its biodiversity have shaped my work. My illustrations became a bridge between my past and present. Allowing me to preserve and share the tropical world that will always be a part of me.

For me, it's not just about creating art. It's about inspiring joy in people's lives and evoking fond memories of vacations to exotic places. It's also about bringing the beauty and relaxation of the tropics to any space with a splash of color, all while being friendly to the planet.

So, let's celebrate the beauty of the tropics together and experience the joy it brings!
