[2] Soto was born in Los Angeles, California and grew up in New York City and a small, traditional village in the South of Spain,[3] across the waters from Morocco.

[4] Her Caribbean heritage (Puerto Rican) and continuous movement to different continents and countries have impacted her art by giving her a wide range of perspectives and experiences.

"[8] Soto states that her works relate "to systems of communications and universal principles in order to question society's conflicts and violence, while highlighting its harmonious network.

De Jesus claims that Soto presents "subtle, nuanced objects and images, while remaining just as strongly tethered to a set of meanings and contexts no less fraught with hard truths.

"[11] In his review of "Hard Edged," an exhibition at the California African American Museum, Christopher Knight offers a description of Soto's work "NGC1003 & NGC1913."

The work consists of a pair of suspended planes made from crocheted squares of wire, which are attached to a small motor hidden near the ceiling.

"[12] Soto has participated in solo and group exhibitions in the Dominican Republic, Spain, Miami, New York, New Orleans, Berlin and Los Angeles.
