A native of Mexico City, she was known chiefly for her graphic work, although she was also a skillful oil painter and watercolorist whose technique earned her a place as teacher in the Academy, from 1946 onward, and the praise of the famous critic Justino Fernández, the father of the history of modern art in Mexico. She received her formal training in the National School of Plastic Arts and in the Book Arts Workshop founded by Díaz de León. Thanks to a British Council scholarship she finished her graphic art studies in the Slade Art School of London. On invitation from the Soviet Union, she traveled in the Far East and exhibited in Beijing. As an engraver she used several techniques, especially etching and lithography, and because of her excellent work was invited to join the Mexican Engravers Society in 1947 and the Popular Graphics Workshop in 1952. As a teacher she trained several generations of pupils during the sixties and was highly respected by the academic community. She died tragically in 1969.
