Since her graduation, she has been improving her knowledge in the field of Plastic Arts in courses and workshops at Brazil and abroad.
Since 1988 she has been accompanying students in the teaching of watercolor, acrylic and metal engraving, both on regular courses in her studio and in other spaces.
She develops her works with a theme aimed mainly at the vibrant identification with the landscapes where the most intriguing are the infinite open spaces and the breathtaking skies, and where the human figure does not appear.
The chromatic sensitivity and dramatic sense of the landscape are revealed by an exalted feeling of passion for this spiritual dimension of nature, a catalyst for sensitivity. Starting point, but never arrival.
Another aspect of her work is also deeply related to that surrounding landscape, its intimacy and the space that surrounds it. Possibly common themes, but with a deep emotional relationship.
