When I am painting, I do not think about anything else. Nothing else exists, but my canvas, oils and brushes…I am in my own world.

Herly developed an interest in the visual arts from an early age. As a six-year-old, she had her first collective art show at a major fine arts museum. She was also given the task of painting murals and posters for her elementary school. As a young adult, Herly trained under a master artist. During that time she acquired a preference for using the palette knife instead of the brush. She later majored in fine arts at Miami-Dade College, where she worked with many media including sculpture and printmaking. In addition to being a commissioned portraitist, Herly also worked in the fields of art conservation and restoration, as well as a graphic designer for 23 years.

Herly paints on commission, prices are based on subject or theme, medium and size.
