Born 1935 in Mendoza, in the foothills of the Andes in Argentina, Carmen Gracia originally studied painting and sculpture. At twenty-five she left for Paris and worked with S.W. Hayter and Atelier 17. She learned Hayter's technical methods of soft ground textures contrasted by deep etching printed in one colour, then overlaid by relief printing in another, and his creation of new shapes by stencils. She visited London, Lisbon and Oslo, finally settling in England in 1969.
