My Story
Welcome to Soul N’ Bristle, where art meets heart. My journey began in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, a place rich in culture and artistic inspiration. Under the guidance of renowned local artists Esperanza Amador and Pinita Arnesto, I honed my skills and developed a deep passion for painting during the 1980s. Their mentorship was instrumental in shaping my artistic vision and technique.
