Works as a professional creative writer and photographer and approaches graphic and plastic art creation as another way to tell stories. She’s a multidisciplinary artist mainly focused in painting, ceramics, engraving, muralism and poetry. Her work is in constant development and it is usual to find mixed media on it. Her biggest inspiration is nature, music and literature, her work approaches mysticism and the unknown using creatures and illustrative objects based in real or fictional beings. For the artist, it is important to leave space for the viewer's imagination, so they can tell their own story through the art.
