Life in art

I love all expressions of art, dance, music, paint, craft and fashion design. I think that all that you do with love is art.

In the 60's I did my studies at the "Bellas Artes" school in Lima and in the 70's I did Fashion Design at "Instituto Superior Virgen del Carmen" them I did studies of industrial molds at "Senati". Also, in the 80s I did craft and clay at the "Politecnico Jose Pardo". In early 90's I did fashion design at "Senai" in "Rio de Janeiro". In the middle of those courses and a lot of work I had 7 kids.

I been teaching almost all my life to elders and young students craft, painting and tailor. In the 80's I had a pleasure to work as a fashion designer of the magazine "Mujer" were I created patterns in different sizes, was a competitive product like Burda magazine. Also, at that time I worked at Carolina's corporation where I had the opportunity to create my own fashion collection and participated in fashion shows with my creations in professional models.
