Inspired by the marks of time, fleeting images and traces of the ephemeral; Veronica works on a plastered canvas surface, creating art that is a hybrid of sculpture and painting. The result is a fresco-like surface interlaced with fine cracks, giving it a sense of antiquity and fragility.

Specializing in commissions, Veronica creates unique personal and corporate art for her clients.

Veronica’s art is available at:
Studio 350 at 1000 Parker Street.
