Hello and welcome to my page. My full name is Maria Teresa Martinez I go by Mari. :) I was born in Cuba and was raised in the United States all my life. I have traveled and even lived in Spain for about a year. Had wonderful experience there. I was in my teens and was very much drawn by Flamenco. So much so that when I got back to the States I took up Flamenco dancing as well as Classical Spanish dancing. I had wonderful inspirational teachers. Art was something my family loved and we were all exposed to in one form or other.
I use to draw as a child but nothing very good that I thought of anyway. I drew as any child does because its entertaining. However I didn't develop my curiosity to learn until my late 50's as a way to unwind and chill. I found a new love! I have no formal training or learning what so ever. So what you see is what you get.All for the love of art!
I see my improvement through the years however so it all has not gone in vain.
I have had the good fortune to meet some great artists and have gotten tips and tricks to help me alone. I would say its been about 7 years since I started and it is not a full time thing for me. Although I try to paint/draw everyday. You know what they say?! Practice makes prefect!
I hope you enjoy my artwork and come visit again, if you like my work please click follow as I will be adding more of my work to the gallery. . Thank you for stopping by.
