Carmen Uribe is originally from Mexico City, where she worked as a litigation attorney and never found the time to explore her artistic impulses.  Nine years ago she married an American from the Washington area, and  adopted Virginia as her new home.  
Carmen has always been an animal lover, and has carved out a niche in painting animal portraits.  Returning often to Mexico, she also loves the colorful landscapes as well as the beautiful colonial architectures.  But her favorite theme is the animals.  She works primarily in oil, and her paintings are characterized by beautiful and vivid colors – colores alegres or “happy colors.”
