brief bio

Born in 1965 in Mexico City, my interest in aesthetics and composition sparked here and there during childhood and adolescence. My commitment to the production of art and non-functional objects, heavily influence by an abstract mathematical perspective, develop during my undergraduate studies in Industrial Design at the “Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana” in Mexico. In 1993, with a Fulbright scholarship I pursued a Masters in Fine Arts, Fiber Arts, at the Savannah College of Art and Design where I was recipient of the Outstanding Graduate Student Award. There, my creative process mutated from a detailed time consuming textile constructions into an immediate expressive act of mixed media acrylic paintings. After graduation I returned to Mexico where I continued my professional career as a designer, educator and assemblage artist. In 1999 I was awarded with a second Fulbright scholarship to pursue doctoral studies in Art and Art Education at Teachers College Columbia University, in New York City. There, my doctoral investigations have been shaped by what happens in and through studio practice. Currently, my studio practice emerges from the exploration and manipulation of limited material resources. The creative process is based on reiterative cycles of composition in an attempt to evolve artistic forms through a philosophy of proximity and implementation. The strategies of action remain the same across mediums and everyday events.
