Early life

She started stepping into the art world while very young, but participated fully in 1998 by assisting in a gallery, taking some pictures, teaching art and painting. She took up Studio Arts major but decided to shift, thinking that she's not happy in having a deadline so she decided to shift to Visual Communication. She finished her college education in the University of the Philippines Diliman with the course of Fine Arts major in Visual Communication. Keiye is married to Wire Tuazon who is also an artist, and made her name as Katrina Miranda-Tuazon. As she and Wire are both artists, they understand each other's point of view. Even though people can't help but to compare their works, it's never been an issue for them since they both respect each other's work.
