From Buenos
Aires, Argentina, and emigrating to Chicago at a young age, Haydee has consistently

While in elementary school, she created silk screened PTA cards and was

the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After High School Haydee attended Harper
College in Palatine, IL., (AA), a college with a “great art department” according
to her HS art teachers. Years later, after marriage and children, she attended
the University of Miami, graduating in 1998 with a BA degree.
Haydee’s
creative versatility is reflected in the many projects she has created, such as
children’s book illustrations, commissioned art for interior designers, portraits,
murals, computerized 3-D swimming pool and landscape design and graphic

Center for Creative Education, West Palm Beach, FL. At her home studio, Haydee offers general art

creating with recycled materials as well as a separate class for BAK Middle
School Visual Arts Audition preparation (with good admission results). Haydee has also been involved in her
community by creating art for many auction benefits and non-profit events, as
well as for local community enhancement art collaborations.
In
addition to painting, Haydee creates art with recycled materials, which have
been exhibited at Resource Depot (a “Creative Reuse” non-profit organization). One of her recycled projects, “Dolphin in
Distress” won the Taras Oceanographic Foundation adult category contest. Another project made of recycled materials, “Nefertiti
Reborn, also exhibited at Resource Depot, was featured in the Arts &
Culture magazine Spring 2020 edition. (Cultural Council of Palm Beach County).
Travel, visiting cultural and artistic centers and
natural areas and observing life from different perspectives, continues to
enhance her creative development
