As an illustrator, my work has always revolved around nature and the natural world. For me, drawing and art are an extraordinary way of understanding the world around us and that is what I focus my work on - be it through Scientific Illustration, Field-sketching or Printmaking (the last two as a more creative and flexible outlet). I work primarily as a freelancer Scientific Illustrator and I have an online Etsy shop where I sell my lino and woodcut prints. Nature is always my inspiration, my starting point and even where you'll find me recharging my batteries, whether I'm going on a field-sketching trip or on a hike with my doggo and friends.

​

Education wise, I finished high-school in Science and Technology but then decided to pursue a bachelor degree in Drawing at the Fine-Arts College at Lisbon University. Here, I learned the art fundamentals and subjects, like digital drawing and painting, a bit of animation and 3D modelling, portraiture and figure drawing, printmaking and anatomical drawing. Being a Biology and Drawing lover, Scientific Illustration was always fascinating to me, so I did a three year training course in Scientific Illustration and Nature Drawing with Pedro Salgado at the Lisbon's Science and Natural History Museum. There I learned all the different techniques and perfected them.

Since 2019 I've been working as a freelancer and finding my place in the art world.

In 2019 I took part in the exhibition Drawing Room: Desenhos pela cidade as a finalist from my Bachelor degree and in Illustrare: Journeys through scientific illustrations in Portugal, currently open at the Lisbon's Science and Natural History Museum.
