Maria Dolores Torres is an artist with sensitivity to the human figure who shares her incessant exploration of color with expressive forms that transport us to a full organic world of joy and movement.

She then returned to Cuernavaca City in Mexico and continued with watercolor and figure drawing at the Morelense Center for the Arts (CMA).
From 1998 to 1999 she moved with her family to Madison, Wisconsin and studied watercolor portraiture. Once again in Cuernavaca she studied Japanese painting and art history.
