She sudied fine ar in Colombia, and phoography a The New England School of Phoography, in Boson. She has wored as a Commercial Phoographer and as a phoography eacher.
As a phoographer she wored in her darroom for years manipulaing films, chemicals, and papers, and using new digial echniques o brea hrough he accurae and “realisic” represenaion of realiy given o us by radiional phoography. A he same ime, wih her painings, she was rying o ge as close o he real world, as she could. Mixing boh medias has given her an opporuniy o explore a new world w fanasy and realiy mee each oher.
Her phoographs are poised beween realiy and illusion, and hrough hem she faces he same challenges ha ariss have been facing for cenuries: how o ge a perfec balance beween color and ransparency, ligh and shadow, exure and delicacy, and also how o express a profound desire o arac and deceive he er.
