However, it was until she was an adult, in 1998 when she started drawing and painting classes in the city of Monterrey, N.L. Mexico, and immediately she was captivated by the magic of colors, lines, and shapes; awakening in her a desire to continue learning everything related to the art. Georgina, is a person who is proud of her Mexican heritage and loves her Mexican traditions, cuisine, music, etc. She admires Mexican plastic artists, singers and composers who had left a legacy to the world. She is also proud of all those wonderful places that Mexico has for the world to visit and admire.
