Life
[edit]Dorado was born in Cochabamba in 1969. She majored in Fine Arts, with a minor in painting, at the University of Art and Social Sciences (ARCIS) in Santiago, Chile. She taught drawing and techniques on the Graphic Design Program of the Bolivian Private University, and has started an art education program for the blind.
