Stargazer Lily
My absolute favorite piece. I made this one my logo for the same reason.
2016. It opened up my mind to the acrylic medium, being my first acrylic piece after painting in oil during my childhood. I have stuck with this medium ever since having my children.
Sold in my previous exhibition to a good friend.
SOLD
Butterfly Face
The idea of this painting came from my fascination of butterflies and its transformation over time. My goal was to bring up a representation of a woman of color, the butterfly on her eyes represents the vision of growth and development with a free mind. Immigration, diversity and beauty.
SOLD
Dew Flower
I love painting flowers in different scenarios. Their beauty is within them and not what surrounds them. This beautiful rose in the middle of wee hours. After midnight? before the sunrise? dewy with its highlighting colors.
Hot Pink Flowers in White Vase
This is a stillife style, hot pink flowers overflowing over a white vase. Their vibrant color makes its green leaves stand out. Radiating elegance and life in a dark room.
I think that, that's exactly how we should feel. Radiate light no matter where you are.
Window View
This painting was my very first one after not painting since college. I had my first baby and as I stayed home , making a pause in my career, I picked up the brush again. This one is far from perfect, but has a special place in my heart. Might come back and fix up a couple of things one of these days!
Red Tulips on the beach
I love the combination of colors in this painting. I think it catches more the eye than anything else. The tranquility of water and sunset and the red tulips near it.
This painting was more about the colors than the landscape itself.
Tegucigalpa Dome
I found this depiction of a Honduran cathedral dome. Located in the capital of Honduras; Tegucigalpa. It represents the arquitecture of the country I was born in. You can find lots of flower bushes everywhere around Honduras and this wasn't the exception. I should definitely paint more of this.
Sunset & Boat
One of my favorites. I was really hoping no-one had an interest in this one at my art exhibition. It took me a week to paint when I was 30 weeks pregnant. One of my most outstanding pieces so far. The details of the boat, the colors of the sunset and reflection on the sheets and halyards.
Incredible piece!
On the 2nd day of painting this piece, I was going to quit. It wasn't looking like I envisioned it. The angle of the architecture was more difficult than what I originally thought. But I decided to stick to it, took the challenge and although it took a lot from me, it came out amazing!
If you look close into the details you won't believe how long it took me to finish it.
It's now sitting on my parent's house with a beyond amazing frame that makes it even more gorgeous.
House & a red Beetle
Reflection of Butterflies
Butterflies are my favorite animal. So much representation in such a small being. The beauty in their growth and development that converts them from a crawling caterpillar into a winged creature. The capability of migrating to so many places with so much freedom and beauty.
SOLD
Beach Chilling
Just a couple; a hen and a rooster chilling on the beach.
Also a bathroom sucker. I painted this one with acrylic medium, based off of water. Trying something new.
Cherry-tini
Created this one for a little fun! Painted in canva fabric/paper with acrylic medium. Definitely something new, but I loved it!
Roses on Roses
Also a favorite! I love painting flowers and consider it being one of my strongest subjects. I painted this one after my second child. I painted this one on the floor, a bit different than usual. Love the feels that gives my living room!
Water Lillies
Trying some new views. Lillies, of course! This was my first painting in 2026. Painted this one with a baby boy in my arms <3
Window Pane
This window its a vivid representation of the state of houses in old towns of third world countries. Colorful deteriorated walls, wooden windows, filled up with plants and flowers. Love the rustic feels.
SOLD
Set of loving birds

Daisies
This is a super beginner-friendly art work. I painted this in 30 mins. Just for the adrenaline rush lol. Who doesn't like a little bit of color in the middle of so much darkness?
SOLD
Lemons
Such a home-bodied painting. This was the first painting sold in my previous art exhibition. I heard it's in a good home now hanging off a blue wall. ooff! Can you imagine? This was painted in acrylic medium on fabric canva.
SOLD
Lemons on Newspaper
I absolutely love this style! It gives it that retro vibe I love. I'm definitely painting more of these. The issue here is, where's all the newspaper at?! It's in danger of extinction.

Tom & Jerry
Such a classic! We still watch these cartoons at home. I made these thinking on having a set of cartoons on my babies' play room.
.jpeg)
Minnie & Mickey
Mouse
Of course I had to include the Disney power couple! The black and white episodes are my favorite. I love painting these classics.
Toughest part of this one was to make their profile looks and lot's of black. Can get a bit messy and can easily mess up the clean look of the characters.

Silvester & Tweety
Bird
Painting cartoons bring up more solid colors to the table. Less shadows and more underlining. Painting already existing characters that everyone knows can be a bit tricky. You can't mess up. The characters need to look the way they are.
Horse
This one is painted in a couple of layers of burnt sienna. Yes, the horse too! I enjoyed to play with black and brown on this one. More horses coming up, for sure!
I heard "horses don't stop, they keep going". (A little inside joke from the buyer.
SOLD

Beach Vibes
8"x10" 30 minute painting.
Those days when you feel like doing something you love to do but don't have much time for it; This is exactly it for me. This is a little beach chill with the fam. My baby boy can't walk yet, but that's how envisioned it.
This has been the first landscape painting I've done in years! It reminds me a lot of one of my very first paintings when I was just a child.
Landscape
The Holy Family
I am catholic and this is a very meaningful representation of our religion; Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus. My first time painting people. Not my strongest style. Had many critics on this one. But I just know how much meaning it has to me.

Calla Lillies
Sitting on my dining room as we speak! This painting was inspired on the very famous Mexican paintings "Calla Lily Vendor". My husband gifted me one from when he went to Mexico and as it sat on my dining room,I decided to make a matching painting.
Curious Ducks
Super fan of funny paintings! Honestly, one of my favorites! I painted this one for a bathroom wall. Get a little laugh while they hang in front of you. No one comes out of the bathroom without a little chit chat about those curious ducks.
It's now hanging on one of my very best friend's bathroom.
SOLD
Legs & Pearls
A public favorite. Sold this one at my last exhibition to an anonymous client. Everyone loves a piece of women silhouette's paintings.
I would love to create a collection of body art. Stay tuned!
SOLD
Haven't painted stillife in a long time! This is a 30''x36'' painting/ acrylic medium. It's in my dining room, for now!

Holding a Drank!
One of my "one-day" paintings. I went through some health issues towards the beginning of the year(2026). I painted a couple of small ones as I stayed home to recuperate. This one being one of them.
.jpeg)
Hibiscus Flowers
I painted this one in 2016, together with the logo painting. Truly an oldie that I can't let go of. I really like the window-like style.
Sunflowers
When I was a child I made a very similar painting for my godmother who loved sunflowers. She had a sunflower collection in her kitchen. This makes me feel like its a recreation of this painting. She still has it until this day! Might post later.
.jpeg)
These paintings were both elaborated at the same time. I intentionally made these as a set but I am sure they look as good individually. I like the "in-love" feeling these portray .
Woman in Balcony
This was a trial painting. Exploring the black and whites in the acrylic world. This reminds me of the types of painting I used to paint back in college.
Mountain ride
This painting brings me so many questions. And I painted it myself. Where's the driver? Is the car parked in the middle of the road? In a curve? I bet you had not thought about it, huh?
Anyway, we all know this is strictly aesthetic, right?
I love how red always gives cold colors some life.
My brother bought this one from me at my art exhibition. Wonder where it's sitting at now.
SOLD
Veggies on Newspaper
The picture definitely doesn't do it justice. I love art on newspaper. I made this set for my kitchen and I love it!

Lion
You need a lot of intention to paint a lion. It needs to represent a sense of strength, intellectuality and ferocity. So many details to paint such a majestic feline. It's the king of the jungle!
I intend to paint more lions. Would love a challenge of details.
This was painted on wooden panel, which is a lot smoother than an original canva.
Another stillife. Made with white, black, brown, blue and red. Nothing else. Yes, the oranges are actually burnt sienna, which is a type of brown/red.
You can see it in the backgorund mixed with black but also on the oranges mixed with white and red. It's amazing all you can do with a couple of colors.
Stillife
Serenity River
This was painted in fabric as well. What many don't know is that the strokes on fabric can be less smooth than a regular canvas. It soaks up a bit more paint , as well. But the colors can look more vivid!
I will forever love a nature painting. I would love to do it in real life one day.
This one is sitting on my parents in-law living room as we speak!

Book stack & green butterfly
This painting has a couple of my favorite things; books, flowers and a butterfly.
What I love about it is that true green butterflies are actually super rare. They're insects so they don't produce green color.
There are some others (also rare) that create green through their wings bending to have yellow pigment and blue reflections to trick the eye. Cool, huh? Rare & beautiful, such a combo.
I envisioned this painting on a newspaper to begin with.
I love the aura that it has with the mixture of colors in the background, though.
My sister in-law bought this one from me. I think it represents her so well!
