Printmaker. Began her studies in art in 1993 at the workshops of Liga de Estudiantes de Arte de San Juan and in 2003, obtained a Bachelor’s in Graphic Arts at Escuela de Artes Plásticas de San Juan. Among recognitions for her work are the award granted by the International Association of Art Critics, Puerto Rico Chapter in 2006 and in 2002 the award from the Exposición Anual de Estudiantes from Escuela de Artes Plásticas. Quijano was co-founder in 2005 of = Desto and currently is Drawing and Painting Professor at the Liga de Estudiantes de Arte de San Juan (Art Students League in San Juan). Her works are in the collections of the Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico and at Princeton University, among others. The artist wants, through her three-dimensional works, to arouse within the public, curiosity and desire to examine her work.
"As a printmaker I seek to arouse within the public, curiosity with my 3D works.
My work intends to encourage in the observer the desire to examine the work, to even analyze it psychologically if so desired and above all, to develop a desire to create in the observer.
I'm still in constant learning and eager to create unusual forms with traditional graphics. Traditional printmaking is a constant challenge in times when technology takes up the reproducible digital image, forcing to explore with other materials ".
