I’m a visual artist and curator based in NYC.
My work’s been shown nationally and internationally, including at El Museo Del Barrio, The Bronx Museum, The Fowler Museum, the Nobel Museum in Stockholm, Sweden and Fundacion Canal in Madrid, Spain. I’ve been fortunate to have received numerous awards including the Cintas Fellowship for Cuban and Cuban-American artists and a Pollock-Krasner grant, as well as residencies at Skowhegan; Ucross Foundation; Ragdale Foundation, the Kunstlerhaus in Salzberg, Austria; and the Open Art Residency in Eretria, Greece. My work is in numerous private collections including the Scottsdale Museum of Art and the Frost Art Museum in Miami, FL.
Head (From The Brambles)
Sumi ink on clayboard; 18″x24″H; 2010
The unexpected death of my father in 2009 changed the course of my work. I felt profoundly unmoored, stripped of a basic sense of order I’d taken for granted. These paintings reflect the strange, unpredictable, ever-changing wildness of loss and grief.
