Sobre el Artista


My journey in art has been long and continuous. I had over sixty three-group shows and fifteen solo shows. I also have been the recipient of numerous awards, among which is worthwhile mentioning the First Prize at the Exhibition of Women Artists in Taipei, China, in 1999. In 1977 I won the distinction awarded by the famous Latin American critic Marta Traba, at the International Xerox Art Exhibition. In 1975 I was awarded the First Prize in the Jubilee Exhibition of Columbus Day, sponsored by the Embassy of Spain and the Institute of Hispanic Culture in Nicaragua. Today, I continue my art ride with the same intention with which it began, discovering in the unvalued spaces of our culture the opportunities to reflect over it.
