Biography:
I consider myself an interdisciplinary artist, and I firmly believe that all artists are creators and communicators. For the past thirteen years I have studied and practiced art from several complementary perspectives: as an actress, producer, journalist and photographer. Born in Puerto Rico and carrying a rich Latin American cultural tradition, both knowledge and experiences have blended into a coherent, yet provocative whole that guides and inspire all my creative work. |
