In addition to her artistic practice, she teaches at the António Arroio Art School. He works in the areas of installation/site-specific and ceramics, around the search for an archetypal place, exploring the idea of belonging to a place (shelter, home) of being at home in the world. In addition to ceramics, her practice involves collecting: popular sayings, branches, stones and songs… Her focus is on the relationship with others, on the perception and exploration of aspects of nature, celebrations, ancestral rituals, festivities and popular expressions.
