“Here you will find some of the photographs I kept with care and brought with me when I decided to move to the United States. They hold moments of my artistic life, my family, and my journey. Each picture is a living memory, that I would like to share with those who honor art, love, and identity.”

This gallery is a work in progress and will continue to grow over time. Thank you for your patience.
While others said ‘Whisky" to smile for a photograph,
I said, "I did it".
Because for me, every photograph was more than a portrait:
it was proof that I kept moving forward,
a reflection of the steps I took with strength and without schooling,
with soul and devotion, in both my personal and professional life.
I loved taking pictures ...oh yes!
So I would not forget the moments,
so I could celebrate every achievement,
to remind myself that it can be done.
