Cecilia Miguez

Cecilia Miguez (born 1955 in Montevideo, Uruguay) is a Los Angeles based sculpture artist.

He works out of her studio in Altadena, California which is located northeast of Los Angeles. She was born and raised in Montevideo, Uruguay. Because she liked to draw, Miguez decided to study architecture, but eventually decided to move to art in order to satisfy her creative spirit.[1]

Miguez studied painting for several years, and then moved to Southern California in 1985. She first began working for the Uruguayan consulate and then, In 1994, she joined a group of artists, The Drawing Group, that met weekly and painted from live models. This group sparked her devotion to a fine art career with special interest in flight subjects, inspired by her deep interest in Leonardo Da Vinci and his designs for flying machines. Of this interest, she says: "Many times we don't let ourselves fly and be the most we can be." (168) [2]
