About

As a way of personal expression painting, drawing, art making is an asset and everyone should know the basics to be able to do some of it. To become an artist requires knowledge of media, history, ideas, time and patience. I enjoy helping in this learning process and welcome all levels of training.

Basic level or advanced art student:

In developing a preferred technique, awareness of precedents in art and experience in handling diverse subjects. I can also help develop a consistent work for portfolios and exhibitions.

English or Spanish lessons, preferably in my studio or your home, internet teaching sessions are possible.(Usual fee is about $ 80 and hour Adjusted according to travel time, specific requirements or schedule.)

My teaching experience is of ten years at colleges and graduate levels in the North East, Miami and Bogota and I have had an art practice of 35 years. My work consists of drawing (all media, specially watercolor, ink, charcoal) and painting (oil, acrylics, egg tempera) on wood and canvas. You can see my work, interviews and background at

To be involved in a process of art as a means of self-expression, mental and spiritual development is a very precious activity in life. In this digital world, I see a need to explore a hands on way of making images, to express our experiences and perceptions. I enjoy seeing the progress in a student and also sharing the experience and knowledge I have with others. Art making is a way to open doors into other worlds.

For my painting studio work, I received valuable lessons in concepts and techniques of oil painting and water color, regarding format, composition and brushwork. She taught me as well how to research and generate new ideas for my work. Without a doubt, it was a remarkably valuable experience to have enjoyed the guidance of master artist Lydia Rubio in my teaching and artistic endeavors.

Having Lydia Rubio as a teacher in Parsons School of Design was at the time very inspiring. I loved the way she taught, her use of drawing to make us understand shapes and form. Still today I remember her incredible calligraphy, the sense of special space she has in every artwork she has developed.

Lydia Rubio was my drawing and basic painting teacher at Parsons in the early 80’s of New York City. I was immediately drawn by the title of the course “Visual Thinking”, those were my first experiments in painting. She was the best teacher of the year. I understood that lines could be paintings. I am forever grateful to Lydia for confirming that my mind was that of a visual thinker.

I had the pleasure of Lydia’s teachings, guidance, and mentorship over the span of nine months. During these months we would have weekly, ninety-minute meetings, to discuss that week’s progress. With Lydia’s guidance, I developed a series of gouache paintings on paper. Through our discussions, I gained invaluable insight on where to take my art. When I first started working with Lydia, I lacked direction. I was stuck. Overwhelmed by the staggering number of possibilities, Lydia helped me hone in on what I truly wanted to be producing. With direction from Lydia, I began to further develop my own unique style. Our weekly meetings allowed me to explore different techniques while establishing a tempo for creating work. Each week we would critique that week’s paintings. By comparing paintings throughout the weeks, we pinpointed key techniques to focus on, and eliminated some of the less successful studies. This process and progression with Lydia has been immensely helpful in figuring out where I desire to take my work.
