A native of Odessa Texas , Calderoni began painting at an early age, and continued through college.  After graduating  from the University of Texas and she moved to Venezuela, where she continued her art studies  at the Bellas Artes in Caracas and Maracaibo.  During those  12 years she exhibited and participated in   various shows and salons.  Upon returning to  Texas,  (Houston)  she received scholarships and awards at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts’  Glassell School, and continued her learning process, by studying in France,  Italy, and Mexico. She painted  and exhibited in “ Studio 7 “ with 6  professional artists  in the warehouse district of Houston for  over 12 years.

 Calderoni is presently living and working in San Miguel de Allende, a beautiful colonial village in the heart of Mexico.  She is  the “founding  artist” at the Aurora  Art and Design Center of San Miguel  , obtaining a studio in the Fabrica La  Aurora, a 100 yr. old  vacant  textile factory almost 5 yrs. Ago. It has now become the  mecca for  serious working artists,   in   Central Mexico, with  over 35 shops, galleries, restaurants and working studios..

With her emphasis on color  and textures, her large abstract works are about ancient subjects-- but painted in a contemporary style. She often incorporates found objects :  local earth or sand , rusty metals, and pieces of actual colonial walls, hand ground into the pigments and applied  to the surface.  One can envision warm, earthy colors, ancient colonial walls or pre–Hispanic pyramid walls, aged patinas, and crusty layers, with glimpses of messages and drawings from the past.

 Her paintings are part of prestigious  private and public collections in many  countries, and she is represented by several galleries in the USA and Mexico.
