Alquilar was born in Brooklyn, New York, and since she was probably schooled there this would explain her lack of a basic education.

On first glance, I kind of like some of her stuff, too bad she is more than likely a crazy liberal.
"Alquilar's, primitive paintings, ceramic sculpture, ceramic installations, metal sculptures and lithographs are owned by corporations, Museums, Private, City and Federal Art Collections in the United, Mexico and Italy."
Would it be too much trouble to punctuate this a little bit, and to complete the name of the country?!
Words are not this woman's forte. And from what I can see at her website, her art is no great shakes either.
