One of the most rewarding experiences of my life has been painting for the Miami Children’s Hospital.
I will like to thank my friend Carlos A Pereira, and his studio "Heart Studio" for the opportunity he has giving me to participate in this amazing project.
It is truly an experience will cherish for the rest of my life. I've had an opportunity to learn a great deal from both him, and everyone else who has worked on this amazing project.
This was definitely an experience I will never forget. So much so that I've continued to volunteer at the hospital for its art projects geared toward putting a smile on a child's face.
Diana De Los Rios is passionate about her artwork, concentrating on painting murals for children's rooms throughout Key Biscayne. Using acrylic paints and different textures, she's dedicated to bringing children's fantasies to life. "My passion is kids, and although I do paint other kinds of murals, I mostly dedicate my work to children’s murals," she says. "Children always inspire me."
De Los Rios decided to pursue her love of art after moving from Peru to Miami six years ago. "I come from a family of artists and writers, which is probably how I inherited my passion for painting," she says. "I love making the dreams of parents come true for their children."
De Los Rios developed a following as the resident artist for Bellini Furniture. Since then, her designs have become increasingly popular among residents in Key Biscayne, and she's even painted rooms for celebrities on the island. "When Juanes purchased his first home, I painted his daughter's bed room," she says. "Sometimes I never meet the child because they haven't been born yet," she says. “I love it when I hear back from the parents I developed a close relationship with and they ask me to come back and meet their child!"
Aside from her work, she loves to spend time with her family and enjoys traveling to dynamic cities from time to time. "My family is very important to me," she says. "I even designed the interior of my sister’s business, Le Petite Youth Spa, which is a spa for children in Aventura"
In creating LePetite Spa, my inspiration was to make my sister's dream a reality. After days of researching and analyzing her vision, I came to this conclusion,"Bringing her vision to life would be an easy task". Even tougher was coming to grips that this was my baby sister I was for. Together with all the emotions that go with having a sibling, "This was my little sister!"
I poured my heart and soul into her dream of a perfect children spa and at the same time, I was able to put bits and pieces of our adolescent lives on her walls, curtains and furniture that encompass LePetite Spa. At the end of countless days and nights, I stood back and was overcome by the emotions of my sister's little wonderland.
