and acquired a BFA from the University of the Philippines. In 1983, she came to Canada to study at the Banff Centre. This residency marked for her a proposition for a radical vision of art as she worked with artists like Krystof Wodizco, Allan Kaprow, Robert
Irwin, Toru Tekemitsu and John Cage. A short Canadian sojourn became an extended stay. Maestro continues to live and work in Canada and elsewhere.
