Aloe's grow and flower in perfussion in the La Paz area.

My approach/style is unique. It has been described as "impressionistic realism".

Each piece produced is highly original and is a creation, evolving during many layers of application. I start with a vision/concept and then let it take on its own life.

I strive to stimulate and please the eye through composition and colour impact.
