About me...

When I was a little girl, I remember me having my hands always painted with markers or paintings…

 

At the 2nd year of my primary school (If I do remember), I signed up to a chalk drawing competition organized by the school, and whose goal was to draw a landscape of Italy. The drawing must be done over the floor, at the school entry, in a limited space for each participant. And… actually… I won the first award, which was one free year arts school at the Conservatory of Gagny.

And at this moment, I was stepping into a passionate new world…

 

Despite I have grown up in a family who has not the drawing vocation, and despite I have made a kind of “classical” school way, choosing the literature way at the high school, I only went back to the Conservatory the last 2 years of high school.

And oddly, when time arrived to choose which degree course I would pursue, my Conservatory arts teacher told me not to pursue the Fine-Arts.

 

The transition between high school and the university turned into something bigger for me, because I decided to study in Lisbon, in Portugal, pursuing marketing and advertisement degree (at Social Communication Graduate School).

 

Entering the labour market, in 2002, I started a pathway that would lead me to be a communication designer, and for several years, I only drew for profissional purposes.

 

Until 2011, I joined a painting group. And this is when, progressively, I started to dedicate myself to this passion for art…

 

So I now decided to share with the world what I do…

 

See you around…
