ANA LAURA SALAZAR

I’ve been surrounded by art my entire life. My mother was an artist, as well as my sisters, and my daughters are following the same artistic path. Watercolor has always been my passion, which I’ve tried to perfect throughout the years because I truly love this technique. I’ve been a member of the Mexican Watercolor Society for many years now. As an International Watercolor Society member, I’ve been able to be part of several international exhibitions, as well as learning from great watercolor masters.

I’ve been awarded important awards in Bulgaria, India, China, among others. Last year I had the amazing opportunity of being invited to the 1st Qingdao International Watercolor Festival in China.

I have also been a member of the SDWS, and have been awarded first place twice in the International Exhibition that the society organizes every year.
