She studied music and art throughout childhood, giving her first piano recital at 15, and art exhibitions in Vienna and Salzburg at 18. Pursuing her dream to be both an artist and a musician Graciela Rodo Boulanger soon found time would not allow the necessary devotion to both her passions. At 22, she turned all of her energy to painting.
