I’m an animal lover and I have two cats who are siblings. My hobby is painting. I’m mostly self taught. I was born in Brazil but NYC is my home. The feathers in the name drawing (above) represent Carnival. It’s an annual holiday around Easter that some Brazilians celebrate. I used to play soccer, basketball and volleyball. Now I only watch them but I miss playing sports. Sadly I have become accustomed to fast food, which is represented by the hot dog. However I am changing my eating habits. It’s something I’ve been working on since 2018.
