The Author was born in 1990 in Navarra, Spain; studied a degree in History of Art at the Basque Country University in Vitoria, and Saint Louis University in Brussels, Belgium. Her final project entitled "Women, Art and Exile. The subversion in the artwork of Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo" won the Francisca de Aculodi award as part of a gender perspective project in the Basque Country University in March 2015. In 2014 she travelled through Ireland and finally settled in Westport. She has collaborated with the Chilean cultural magazine AguaTinta as a monthly columnist.
