5 out of 5 starsBorolina made the most amazing portrait I could have ever asked for. I had this idea to have a portrait done of my grandma on her wedding day, my mom on her day and me on mine. She took photos from each time period of us and combined us into one portrait all standing next to each other. This was a gift to my mom on my wedding day. It meant so much to us because my grandma passed away aboutn 2 years ago and she meant the world to me and my mom. Borolina portrayed each one of us beautifully. I have never had my mom cry so much over a gift. If I need anything or someone else needs something like this we will be using Boralina’s talents!!! Thank you so much!!!

Hi! nice to meet you! -

This is where I spend most of my day creating
Do what you love
That's what I wanted all my life.
Specially when I was working full time as an Architect, dealing with difficult clients, spending hours in the traffic and answering to a very nasty boss.
It took me years and lots of sacrifices, but I finally was able to do what I love and make a living out of it.
I taught myself how to draw and after some years of practice, here I am, making portraits of beautiful families and pets and illustrating children's books.
And I can do all of this from my cozy home, enjoying a cup of hot tea and surrounded by my dogs.
I am grateful and lucky to be able to live this kind of life.
