I began drawing and carving wood and common stones during my childhood in the 50s. From the beginning, it was faces, the human figure, self-portraits, or just a pretty girl who would catch my eye. 

My later work had been realistic, but during the last stage of my studies at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes, in the Dominican Republic, my work began to transform into what it is today. 

My ability was forged by a team of some of the most recognized artists of the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. 

In my art, 'the lines' wish to be seen in order to more definitely mark the 'expressions' of our joy, dreams, and suffering. The idea of those 'small lines' was taken primarily from my work as an etcher. By observing the Old Masters of that discipline (Durer, Rembrandt, and others), I assimilated the sort of line that they used to achieve volume and shadow in their forms. I adapted to enhance the expressions, not only in the faces of my characters, but in their bodies. 

My characters are mostly women and children because I dedicate my attention to those human beings considered in the society as "weakest". They are actually the most tender and beautiful, the givers and receivers of life.
