I graduated in 1998 at the University of Lisbon, course: Fine arts/Sculpture. I spent the next fourteen years either working as a teacher or in psychiatric rehabilitation in a psychiatric hospital in Lisbon.I kept drawing as a hobby. My passion for stop-motion animation grew and in 2004 I enrolled on a stop-animation course. Animation then became something to develop with my students . In December 2013 I moved to the UK. My sketchbook became my everyday companion. I started a project which is currently a work in progress: My life in the UK in drawing and writing. A Grafia dos Diaspublished weekly in the portuguese newspaper Público , P3 supplement. In 2016/2017 I worked together with the Danish singer, musician and composer Jens Lysdal and the animator Peter Lopes developing a video for a music (Time) about environmental/climate changes, social awareness and the connections with politic and oil industry. Future project lined up: a Children's book illustration.
