Having moved to the United States at age 21, Ana's art has been influenced by both her native country and her adoptive one. Working with a variety of media, the canvas is a record of Ana’s experience with the medium and color as she employs bold, rich colors, mixed media, her favorite impasto technique characterized with spontaneous knife-strokes and textured paintings, to create an emotional tableaux from an abstract expressionist manner, to surrealist imagery.

I was born in Tijuana, Mexico—a city brimming with wildly unconventional creativity and people. In 1999 my family moved to Greenville, SC. I was 14 and had a rough start here as a talkative teenager who all the sudden could no longer communicate. After miraculously graduating from high school (and learning English along the way), I attended Bob Jones University, where I was assured I earned a B.A. in International Relations. more …
I am the Director of Marketing & Communications for the Hispanic Alliance, an internationally-recognized nonprofit that harnesses the power of volunteerism and collaboration to advance Hispanic communities across the Upstate. This endeavor is by far one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I am immensely grateful to connect my profession to my passions. After hours, I volunteer with the Hispanic American Women’s Association where I work with an amazing group of women raising funds for college scholarships for Upstate Hispanic students.
It is impossible for me to separate my work from the other aspects of my life. The people and stories to which I am exposed fuel my efforts and provide me with infinite inspiration and drive.
I also find limitless inspiration in the rich culture of my birthplace. Because of its geopolitical location, Tijuana is an amalgamation of cultures, an optimistic metropolis that defines borders differently and perceives San Diego as an extension of herself. You can’t be a Tijuanense and not have a propensity for hope, ingenuity and color.
