Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, she earned her BFA in Illustration and a minor in Art History from Ringling College of Art and Design. During her freshman year, she co-wrote and managed a $10.000 Davis Project for Peace award in El Salvador that sought to mitigate child gang recruitment through art, teaching painting and sculpting workshops with more than 50 children participants. In 2023, she led art programs for refugee and immigrant communities as the Art and Wellness Coordinator and served as lead art teacher of the Summer Learning Program for Integrated Refugee and Immigrant Services (IRIS). Mica's illustration work has also been featured in a comic celebrating underrepresented women artists, produced in collaboration with the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Most recently, Mica worked on an advocacy project in Mexico with the University Network for Human Rights, illustrating the stories of the disappeared, amplifying the voices of those affected by violence and displacement. Through her art and teaching, Mica aims to inspire hope, empathy, and social change, leveraging the power of visual storytelling to humanize complex issues and foster a more just and compassionate world.
