Even though
I discover the world of card making in 2008, my creativity has being always
within me since my early years…
And for that
I have to start by thanking my parents, my father for inheriting me with the
artistic vein and to my mother who always supported any form of Art, creativity
and surrounded me since my early years with her artist friends (painters,
photographers, designers, artists, dancers…), and collected and supported all
their creations, whatever medium or trade they used or did!
Made me take
art and dance classes, appreciate museums and develop an awareness for all
kinds of creativity!
Thanks to those
dear friends from my growing years: Javier, Luis, Maga, Serge, Santiago and
specially to Carlos, who every afternoon invited me to his studio to paint and
play…you all have contributed to put your creative seed in me! Gracias!
More into
the present, Thanks to this country, the United States, where it facilitates
and promotes card making, scrapbook and crafts like no where else in the
world…!
As for my
card making specifically, I would like to start paying tribute particularly to
my first card teacher, Anne who was a key person in giving me a great start in
the world of greeting cards by being such a great teacher and sub sequentially
to all the companion crafters, teachers and designers that have share their passion
for their art and have pass along some of their knowledge and inspire me to
keep going into this fulfilling path.
Thanks to
Geri, the owner of my local craft store who believe in my work and offer me a
teaching position at her store.
An enormous
thanks to all the Students that have follow me since then and that are a
constant motor for my inspiration, without all of them I would not exist as a
teacher and I will not look forward to make myself better each day and try to
learn new things to share with them.
