Graduated from the Fine Arts Academy (five-year program) and studied weaving,
handmade paper and fiber construction at the National Fine Arts School, Buenos
Aires, Argentina. She resides in Maryland since 1991.
“My goal is to create a diffuse atmospheric space where people can be drawn in. The
compositions are planned like puzzles to attract the viewer’s attention make them
think and provoke intrigue and getting them into a fragile world full of strong
sensory atmosphere.”
