My name is KikaD, born in California, I have been drawing and painting ever since I can remember. Art has been a big part of my life.  I studied art in universities and some on my own. I'm now a high school art teacher, and find that my students desire to learn inspires me to keep painting  beautiful works of art.  My dreams and passions to create art freely from my own mind and heart have given me a quiet calm in my soul; I could not have walked a more perfect path in this world. There is not a day that I wake-up and forget who and what I am. Sharing my artistic abilities gives me joy; opening a creative window for others is the greatest gift I have to give.
