About Me

I am a visual artist and a grandmother. I teach painting. My bigggest commission was the Metro Station at Universal City near North Hollywood Ca. Am currently in an exhibit at the Muzeo in Anaheim and am working on an exhibit at the Latino Museum in downtown LA. I'm part of the Cheech collection which has toured the United States, including the Smithsonian. Right now my biggest kick is teaching and playing with my three dogs. My dream is to move to Vera Cruz Mexico, buy a donkey and paint plein aire paintings on a farm, atleast for a while.My nick names have been Traveisa & Tachara
