Artist Statement



My topic of passion, Sol Y Mar, translates to English as The Sun and the Sea.  My intention for expressing Sol y Mar is to admire our beautiful world.  I chose this topic because most of my life experiences have happened with the sun and sea nearby. I love color and the way the sun glistens on the water. Much of my inspiration came from travel and life experiences. These works of art began with an interest in exploring what I can do as an artist. However, all along my inspiration for this work started with my connection to Sol y Mar.


The journey to discover what Sol y Mar meant for me was at times difficult. Not difficult in the way that I didn’t know what it meant to me but there was a challenge in the programs used in my work. These new tools created a new world for me. But through this challenge I learned that I could make art and visually express Sol y Mar. My research impacted my topic by creating inspiration for each piece. Through investigating, exploring, and examining my work my passion has created a new discovery which encompasses Sol y Mar and gives it new meaning.


Reflecting on each piece of work allows me to see improvement as an artist. From my first piece to my last I am able to see growth in my works. Learning new skills and techniques allowed my work to become a new experience. Teaching me that I can express how I feel not only in my thoughts but also with an actual piece of art. Through this experience I am proud to share my thoughts and begin to find their passion through experiencing what Sol y Mar means for me.
