Early life

Ochoa was born in Medellin, Colombia.

Correa Ochoa's lifelong passion for art was ignited early on by her family as she was raised among painters, singers and sculptures. She moved to Miami in her teens where her artistic development continued. She obtained an Interior Design Degree at MDCC and then completed studies in Fine Art at Florida International University. She continued her artistic training under late Spanish artist Jesus Fuertes. In 2009, Correa Ochea joined the Studio of Puchi Noriega where she studied sculpture of the female form.

Career

In 2011, Correa Ochea moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina. She entered the Abstract Art Studio of Marco Otero where she transitioned from figurative to abstract painting, finding her true passion. Upon her return to Miami in 2013, Margarita was invited to join the “7 Plus One Art Project” group founded by Cuban-American Artist Emilio Hector Rodriguez. The group showed their work in many galleries and institutions such as Miami Dade College, The Koubek Center, St. Thomas University and Coral Gables Museum.

Correa Ochea made numerous national and international exhibitions. In August 2015, she exhibited in the Casa Grau Museum in Bogota, Colombia with the artist group Embajadores de Colombia. In October 2015 she went to Paris to be part of an annual exhibition at The Carrousel du Louvre Art Fair. Early in 2015, Correa Ochea participated in the international presentation of the Mural for Peace, a work that was exhibited first at the Hispanic Cultural Institute of Houston Texas, and subsequently transferred to the French Alliance of Dubai, an exhibition that coincided with Art Week Dubai. The Mural for Peace will remain in Dubai to be part of the museum's permanent exhibition.

Margarita studies urban Art and is fascinated with the integration of graffiti, collage and other mixed media.

gollark: They like backward compatibility so obviously there'll just be some sort of extreme WINE thing.
gollark: See, MS likely doesn't want to maintain their own kernel and stuff. The implications are obviously obvious: MS is looking to port Windows to run on the Linux kernel, and thingying Edge is a test.
gollark: Or a test for the confusing future of Windows for Linux™.
gollark: EEE™.
