"An outward vision...an inward look.

Birds migrate, often across many miles. People do too.
Within and between cities, states and nations.

Mariela's journey is as compelling as it is circuitous.
Equally compelling is her artwork.

Luscious watercolors. Introspective. Varied.
Warm & charming. Bold & daring. Soft & gentile.
Intriguing...always."

Mariela Yolanda Freire was born in the summer of 1971 in the exquisite country of Panama to a hard working mother and father.  She was inspired by her father’s passion of the arts, his love of the world and his view of the beauty of life.  He shared with her his visions and challenged Mariela to see the world and God’s beauty and share it with the world. He inspired Mariela to follow her dreams to view everything few people would ever see.  Mariela embraced this gift and the challenge to become the highly acclaimed artist she is today.
