I hope that Fragments of Persephone will achieve to capture awareness toward the self respect and pride of femininity that every woman should celebrate and can gather courage to say no to conformity, abuse, neglect and embrace her value in life and in society as a transforming entity of change.

I was born in the United States, but grew up in a third world country which has allowed me to recognize my roots, place me in a concrete reality and seek success, despite the adversity of the surrounding medium.

My genealogy hails from European and Latin-American heritage. I graduated with merit recognitions from the National School of Fine Arts and the National Pedagogical University  focused in Fine art and teaching. During my learning process, I have had the timely guidance of a renowned artist in the arts, who has enriched my artistic vision.
