I was born in Cali, Colombia. I became passionate about a better environment and an improved quality of life; both principles championed while working as an environmental engineer in my native city.

In 1999, my husband and I moved to New York, where I decided to change my life to become an artist. I enrolled in the Art Students League of New York to study oil painting under the guidance of artist Leatrice Rose. In 2004, I lived in Los Angeles and painted in Venice Beach at Martin Lubner's studio under his tutoring.

By the summer of 2005, we moved to Alpharetta, Georgia, where I opened my first studio. I got involved in the local arts and cultural scene through my relationship with Heaven Blue Rose Gallery in Roswell, GA.

In the spring of 2009, after moving to San Antonio, Texas, I decided to take a hiatus from painting to read, explore and study the masters. Upon arriving in Austin in 2013, I resume painting in my home studio and become a member of The Bunkhouse Art Gang at Wenmohs Ranch at Cypress Mill, Texas, where a group of local artists meets inside a barn studio every Tuesday for a day of creative art and friendship. 

I have exhibited my art at venues in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Austin.
