Born in Paris, France, Vera spent her first ten years immersed in the city’s vibrant artistic culture.
While attending French schools, where art was a valued part of the curriculum, she was taught artistic concepts that were reinforced by weekly lessons and visits to renowned museums. Surrounded by examples of art’s evolution throughout time, she developed a lifelong love for the subject that continues to shape her work today.
Relocating to the United States opened new doors for both personal and artistic growth.
Vera embraced fresh challenges and possibilities, from studying biological sciences to working in medical illustration. Her time in healthcare deepened her appreciation for detail, precision, and observation — qualities that now inform her fine art practice.
For Vera, art is an all-encompassing journey that blends diverse media, subjects, and styles.
Her paintings — often combining acrylic embellishment, mixed media, collage, and fluid art — explore the interplay of representational and abstract expression. Inspired by the shifting colors and clarity of Lake Tahoe’s waters, her Reflections series captures movement, light, and the emotion of a moment.
Her work has been exhibited in venues such as the San Diego Natural History Museum, and numerous juried shows throughout California and Nevada. Today, she continues to draw inspiration from Tahoe’s landscape, translating its beauty into pieces that invite introspection and connection.
