Esmeralda
is 27 years old and is married to Asdrúbal
Jimenez. She has used the money from her painting
to invest in cattle, pay for her daily living
expenses, and build a new house. Since 1992
when Asdrúbal told her to get serious
about her art or stop painting, she has dedicated
herself seriously to her paintings and to improving
her skills. Her paintings are humorous, vivacious
and sensual and are done with wonderful craftmanship.
Esmeralda says, "I never thought that I
would have come this far. I now need to paint
everyday and miss it when I don't have time
for it. I hope one day to have a studio in my
house for all of my paintings. |
