Bachelor of Arts (Sculpture mention) from the University of Chile (2010). She studied photography at the Pontifical Catholic University (2003) and Contemporary Photography  at the ICP New York (2004). She also participated in video art exhibitions, performance and in different projects that combine the audiovisual world with intangible oral heritage in Chile and Spain. She has studied Visual Anthropology at the University of Barcelona (2013) and received her Master’s in Documentary Creation at the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona (2016).

Upon returning to Chile after seven years of artistic work in Spain, she proposed a new hand embroidery technique on various surfaces, participating in national and international competitions and exhibitions. Her work is a continuous exploration of drawing and line in space, engaging with the landscape through multiple media such as video, photography, and embroidery. She develops organic forms inspired by textile traditions, creating intuitive compositions. Geometric rhythms emerge from the needle’s movement, evoking a sense of choreography. By blending order and chaos, her embroidery extends drawing into spatial dimensions, offering a reflection on nature.

Her work is part of private collections in Chile and abroad, as well as in medical institutions such as the Collection of The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, USA, and the Arturo López Pérez Cancer Foundation in Santiago, Chile. It is also included in public collections, such as the Visual Arts Collection of the Government of Chile at the National Center for Contemporary Art in Santiago, Chile.
