Printmaker, designer and professor. She graduated in 1970 from the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) and earned her master’s degree from Columbia University in New York in 1971. She started as a printmaking apprentice in the Printmaking Workshop of the UPR School of Architecture with José Antonio Torres Martino as professor, and in Lorenzo Homar’s workshop. She also studied printing at the Bernardino Cordero Vocational School in Ponce, at the Center for Book Arts in New York and in Canada she studied non‑toxic printmaking with Keith Howard. Her teaching profession has been lasting and significant in Puerto Rico (at the UPR School of Architecture) and in the Dominican Republic (at the Institute of Advanced Studies). Her work has earned awards and honorable mentions throughout her remarkable career, and is part of multiple collections in Puerto Rico, the United States and Venezuela. Her works portray her mastery of silkscreen printing, letter design, linocuts and woodcuts, and she has created portfolios and artist’s books that combine images, designs and words harmoniously. Her prints, through textures achieved with elegant strokes, evoke poetic depictions of the native landscape.
