Born and raised in the Bronx, Ada Haiman formed part of a big “returne migration” to Puerto Rico in the late 1960s. She retired from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras approximately fifteen years ago. She has recently relocated to Cambridge.
She came late to art with no formal studies. Her work is spontaneous, intuitive and meditative. She began doing it for the pleasure and focus the act of creation offered. Especially gratifying was what others saw in the finished piece, many times so different from what she saw. The finished collages achieve a seamless and harmonious combination of contrasting elements that viewers perceive as paint, not paper, adding another level of enchantment.
