Born in Portugal under the sun,
between the waves, swimming in creativity. Abruptly taken to Brazil, to a gray and rainy city in the south, the darkness began. My soul grew hurt and angry... Educated to serve men as a lesser being, never feeling their valor was greater, to express the power of women became almost a survival tool. Graduating in Drawing, Painting, Fashion Design, and following that path served the same purpose: revealing the beauty and power of femininity. Suddenly blessed in Portugal by a sunny pregnancy, giving birth to a girl, the cycle continues: to draw, to paint, to write, to teach, how divine it is to be a woman. |
