Later, she moved to the United States, where she lived for eight years and studied at Queens College in New York. In Brazil, she studied visual arts at the Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado in São Paulo, where she took sculpture classes with Nicolás Vlavianos. Moreno has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions. Among her solo exhibitions are those presented at the Gloria Luria Gallery in Miami, the Galerie Jean-Claude Bellier in Paris, and the Selecte Artist Gallery in New York.
