I have been experimenting with printmaking for many years, in particular with collagraphs, dry point and monographs.
I moved to Sheffield in 2022 and have continued with my interest in representing nature. Here, instead of mountains and the sea, I have returned to trees as my main subject. The idea of sustainable art appeals to me. I have used driftwood both as a ground and as a printing plate, and I sometimes print on homemade recycled paper.
After finishing school in Sao Paulo, Brazil, I went to art college for two years and also studied printmaking and painting at the studio of Loi Portinari’s. Later, I qualified as an English teacher, and Art became a privilege, a hobby, but I never stopped drawing and painting when time allowed. Later still, I attended an art and design course offered by the University of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. I was also a member of the Portree Printmakers group.
I have taken part in exhibitions in Brazil, London, Essex, Brighton and Portree, on Skye.
