I was born of very creative Puerto Rican parents in Reading Pa 1983, I have 4 younger sisters.  My father was hired for a metal fabricating factory in York Pa on W. Philadelphia Street…and in 1993 we moved to York Pa. I attended Phineas Davis Elementary School, Hannah Penn, and William Penn H.S. graduate of 2002. After graduating I acquired several positions locally in the Non Profit world. As life unraveled before me so quickly I had also experienced becoming a mother of 3 sons, tried and failed at marriage and a few other hiccups in life. 2013 I took a leap of faith, and with my newborn child I embarked on an emprenueral adventure in the world of face painting. Between talent, personality, and social media, I gained major leads within the community events to keep me afloat, but face painting wasn’t enough for me, I learned the craft of henna tattooing and began experimenting painting on my drawings. After selling several pieces, I decided to add both henna tattooing and painting parties/workshops to my business. I am now going on 10 years of business, here in York Pa. I was a former artist in residence at The Parliament arts organization, I very recently have moved from there to a residence above a local vintage shop. I am still learning and growing but sharing the joy and love of art along the way. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about ME. For a closer look at my work go to www.artistrydeluz.com
