"I'm a little bit Rock and
Roll..." (ok, more HipHop & Salsa)
Call me the Puerto Rican “Martha”
with a frugal twist. A "free-spirit", I like to use my expertise in various
areas to help people find their own unique style and expression.
As a visual artist, I have exhibited
my artwork and taught art in the community, hence this studio. I’m a
writer and a poet, as well. A friend of mine says that art is my “A” side
and writing is my “B” side. With God’s blessings, both sides seem to be a
“hit”.
I attended the Fashion Institute of
Technology and as a freelance designer, I have designed wedding gowns and prom
dresses, starting from a sketch and then sewing them through to
completion. I also have an extensive background as a Floral Designer with
more than 15 years in the industry. I owned my own little shop with my
parents in Fleming Island for two years before we had to close. I now do
freelance floral design for various occasions.
Beauty and strength of women have
been the greatest motivators for many of my career choices, from my backgrounds
as a Fashion and Floral designer to certification as an esthetician. I really
enjoy helping people, especially women feel their best. After years of
formal training and experience, I just love to share all the great knowledge
I’ve gleaned to help people feel empowered in their own lives! To me,
there’s nothing like learning a new skill or looking at something and thinking
–‘I can do that’ and you can! Plus, being bi-lingual, I am looking forward to helping
our patrons in both Spanish and English.
Oh, what fun!
**I thank God for every part of my
life, without Him, I wouldn’t have such a full and rewarding life. All I
do – I do for Him!**
