I was born in Piura-Peru. I began to explore the art of collage when I first became pregnant. Toxic paint fumes could have harmed my unborn child. Glue and paper provided me the freedom to create.
Today, 19 years later, I continue to be fascinated by the art of collage, and use snippets of magazine paper, fabric, paper painted by my children or by myself, photographs, and anything that enriches the texture and color of my images. My inspiration comes from my family, having ten older sisters and brothers, traveling as a journalist around the world, and raising two girls. I render festivity, love, consolation, protection, and solitude in my abstract and representational artwork.
