The places the work has travelled, and the people behind it.
COLLABORATION & PRESS
The joy of building something together with people whose talent you admire, of being carried by rooms you could never build alone.
My life has moved between Ecuador, the United States, England and Norway, and that multicultural road keeps opening doors I am deeply grateful for, from A.I.R Gallery in Brooklyn to Sentralen in Oslo, to Mall Galleries in London with The Sick Children’s Trust in 2026. This page gathers the people, the organisations and the press that have shaped this path and carried the work beyond the studio.
I am always open to the next collaboration with people who share a belief in art that connects us and makes room for more voices.

In February 2025 I organised and gave a talk at Prismatic Pages in Oslo, on women in the arts: the numbers museums leave out, the images that shaped how we see our own bodies, and how to actually support living women artists. I brought a book list and a pamphlet, the audience brought the questions, and the room did the rest.
