Artist | Professional | Traditional Art
United States
I was originally born in Argentina, but raised in the US since infancy. I have been drawing since I was about 4. I am self taught, never took art until I went to school and by then I learned anatomy on my own as a child from books I purchased and checked ou at the local libraries. I hold a degree in Information Technology and Multi Media design. I have shifted over to ink illustrations in the past five years or so. I was strictly pencil, but it became boring, so I decided to start experimenting with ink over pencil. I studied Matisse's ink work carefully and taught myself this technique. I do nothing in color or in digital format. I do not see in color but rather in shadows and in black and white. You can e-mail me at: mysticmirrorsartstudiocorp@hotmail.com.
