Occupation: Mixed Media Creative and Graphic Designer
When I was 16 years old (1996) I was taught by my father, an award-winning Mexican sculptor and restorer, how to restore antiques.
Through four years of working with my father, I learned the use of various patinas such as handling gold leaf and the Application of oil paint on wood and other techniques.
In 2000 I started my integral design career. This design career encompasses various branches of design. The most important of these are graphic design, industrial design, interior design, and photography. I worked as a designer and photographer for 6 years.
In 2008 I began training to become a teacher of yoga with the intention of reconnecting with myself and focusing to create a creative concept.
Admiring the work of great and creative artists, including my father, and with the help of my husband, I was able to start the concept ""Milagritos de Arte."" This is a concept which allows me to be free.
