emma: I was born in Ensenada, Mexico, and lived in many cities in Mexico and abroad. I discovered I could draw with aptitude from an early age, creating recognizable portraits of classmates by age 11. In my teens I began working with oil paints, taking classes in a studio. In keeping with this artistic inclination I chose to study Architecture at the Monterrey Institute of Technology, following this up with a Master’s Degree in Urban Planning at the U of T. While pursuing a career in Urban Design and raising four children, I still found time to paint and draw as a hobby. Four years ago I decided to return to painting seriously, becoming a member of an art group and exhibiting at various venues. I have continued to upgrade my skills with courses in painting. My recent work seeks to reinterpret the colours found in nature, to capture real and imagined images through free brushstrokes.
