I have been traveling to different parts of the world that have unique swimming places and aqua sports for years. This may be an underground cenote with a diving board, or waterpark, a pool complex, etc.. While enjoying my swims there, I take many photos of them and use them as references since I can’t paint right at many of these places. I recently went to Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and stayed in a fancy inclusive resort where the prices of several eco water parks are included. I made many paintings of various underground rivers, cenotes, and other bodies of waters with water activities, such as snuba (A mixture of Scuba diving and snorkeling) and sea trek, walking under water with a protective helmet. I’ll sometimes mix elements of different places together like in my sea trek Painting, I added dolphins I had encounters with from an aquarium which rescues dolphins with medical issues.

I enjoy the surreal of the bodies of water and like exploring with the many colors and textures of water. What attracts me to art is the use of colors and texture. My oil paintings typically are vibrant and are inspired by Salvador Dali, and David Hockney, hence all the pool and theme/ water park paintings I have made.
