This first official edition of Translating American the Vlog brings a special unveiling of one of Marisol’s paintings, a colorful and ethnic-themed oil painting, featuring a fresh look of my brand VerasWords. Marisol’s illustration of me immersed in my passion for communications, languages, and cultures is an eloquent depiction of our beloved and distinctive Caribbean culture.
As a young immigrant and artist living in United States, Marisol translates the American culture through her talent and mastery of oil painting.
