Her father, Enrique Báez was a civil engineer and her mother, America Gonzalez was a teacher and a independent and confident woman.〔 Báez was strongly influenced by her mother. Her mother insisted that all of her children take classes in the arts and she exposed them to theater and reading.〔 Báez started painting classes at age nine.〔 Báez was described as an intelligent and gifted child.〔 She graduated from the Colegio Puertorriqueno de Ninas in 1947.
Báez received a bachelor's degree in the sciences from the University of Puerto Rico in 1951.〔 She was exposed to many cultural and artistic movements while at the University. There had been a migration of many Spanish intellectuals and artists to Puerto Rico at the time and many of them were active around the University.〔 She began to develop ideas about issues surrounding Puerto Rican independence. She believed that Puerto Rico should be an independent country.〔 Báez attended political rallies and cultural events.〔 Báez supported the woman's rights movement and identifies as a feminist.〔
Báez left for Spain, initially to study medicine at the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid.〔 Before she arrived in Spain, she spent time in New York and Paris, immersing herself in the culture of both cities. In 1952, her passion for the arts led her to leave medical studies and pursue painting. She applied at the San Fernando Art Academy and was rejected, but she worked hard to build up her portfolio and was accepted in 1953.〔 She received her master's degree in art from San Fernando Art Academy in 1957. Afterwards, she returned to Puerto Rico to study with graphic artist Lorenzo Homar at the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture in San Juan.
