Born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, I began to draw when I was four, inspired by my father, a self-taught painter of oil landscapes. At the age of seven, I learned to play guitar by watching him play, and created my first musical compositions. Soon, I started to participate in presentations on local TV and numerous school activities, charity events and religious festivities. At the age of eight and during the following three years, I wrote, rehearsed and directed my first plays with a group of schoolmates, creating costumes and choreographies for modern dance.

By the time I turned thirteen, I began to offer acoustic guitar lessons to teens. By watching my mother, aunts, and grandmother, I learned to sew, embroider, crochet, and knit, selling my own handwork at school. In high school, I learned to cook with my boyfriend, with whom I have being happily married for thirty-one years. At the age of eighteen, I concluded a three-year technical course of architectural and interior design. That year, I also concluded professional airbrush and animated cartoon courses. During the following eight years, I worked in numerous audio-visual projects, including a production about Ancient Egypt consisting of seven hundred slides and forty hours of videos.

In 1988, I graduated from the Federal University with a Bachelor in Fine Arts, with an emphasis on education and painting. Soon, I began to participate in collective and individual exhibitions in Brazil, with landscapes and still-life oil on canvas. In 1996, I completed the development of an original technique using acrylic texture on hardboard. This distinctive technique uses small dots in finely detailed texturized paintings, representing abstract and figurative themes in a unique 3D combination of colors, texture light and shadows. I exhibited this technique for the first time in Canada in 2004, the year I moved with my family to Quebec.

In 2005, I participated in an exhibition at the Telus Tower in Montreal and in 2006 at the Musée des Maîtres et Artisans du Québec, Saint-Laurent . In 2007, we moved to Calgary, where I continued to develop my individual collection while selling to private collectors. Between my dedication to arts and homeschooling my children, I continued my research using new materials and mixed techniques, in a continuous quest to innovate and transfer to my paintings an endless flow of ideas and inspirations. This has been achieved by exploring multiple combinations of materials, in the pursuit of greater durability, rigidity, and visual effects across a wide range of techniques.

In 2013, I moved with my husband to Bahrain, a lovely kingdom I am proud to call home. I am currently getting ready for an exhibition in 2018.
