They are blood related to the famous painter Antonio Herrera Toro, one of the most important personalities in Venezuelan art, from whom they inherited their love for the arts.

Her love for the oils has led her to create many paintings with different techniques and themes. Her work mixes abstract and figurative art techniques. Her focus is on forms, textures and colors. She paints with her soul, putting in her works her mind, spirit, dreams, and even her nightmares. Surreal Trend.

She is passionate about painting, and has tried many subjects and techniques using oils. She works mostly with oil on canvas and mixed media, and recently has begun using acrylics on her paintings under the guidance of renown Curator Milagros Bello, Ph.D.
