Since I was little that I feel the need to create, to use colors and textures.
My imagination used to fly from one place to the other and it was very difficult
to concentrate at school...just one word or an image were enough to send
me to a fantasy world.
At home I spent long hours drawing and painting, boringness was never part
of my life!.
I always knew I wanted to study something related to the arts and that's how
I decided to study industrial design. I enjoyed it and I learnt a lot. The whole
university experience was a great inspiration for me. By the time I finished my
studies my heart kept me on the painting's path and is there where I stayed.
I mainly use acrylics and mixed media including collage.
I like to learn new things, I'm always searching, reading and trying new ways
of self expression.
I currently live in England, with my husband, also an artist, and our son, who's
without a doubt the greatest inspiration in my life.

Other things I do:
Years ago I used to visit a book shop in Chile, where I saw several books about mandalas, they
caught my attention immediately but it wasn't until I had a wonderful dream that I started
reading more about them. In my dream I saw a great green mandala spinning around in the
sky, over the sea. I woke up inspired and I bought the book "Mandala, journey to the center"
by the author Bailey Cunningham, who put me in the right path to start my own "journey".

I moved to England in 2005, beautiful country of great and rich history and culture. Here I have
discovered the wonders of British pottery and porcelain and I'm eager to learn more.
I started collecting tea cups after I fell in love with the prettiest tea set I found once in a charity
shop.

My love for mosaics begun in 2004, when I was living in Ravenna, Italy. Experience that forms an
important part of my life.
Now that I live in England, I have fallen in love with its pottery (ceramics in general and porcelain)
and because I have found wonderful pieces that unfortunately were cracked and even broken I
thought it was a real crime to throw them in the bin....and that's is how I started making mosaics
with broken crockery!

I've always enjoyed sweet things and now that I have my own family, I want to make of my
home a real "home sweet home", trying family recipes and inundating it all with aromas that
remind me of my own childhood.

I love glass beads, many of them are real miniature works of art. Stones are also my predilection, I
have found wonders that I later used to create a necklace.
After I visited a shop specialized in glass beads I gave it a go and made my own necklaces and
bracelets.

My maternal grandmother, who had many skills, worked as a seamstress and was always very
busy. I was ever so impressed by her. As I had lots of ideas, I used to ask her to sew me this
and that and she always had time for me.
Before going to university I wanted to make a doll inspired by the Celts. I made a Druid doll with
it's leather bag containing a full set of tiny runes...and I sewed it all by hand...hours of work!.
A few years later, I bought my first sewing machine as I wanted to make rag dolls...this became
a real addiction!, I spent days stuck to the machine...and loving every minute of it.
