July 10th "Easy Bling Bracelet". This piece can be finished during the class and I will be leading you step by step through the end to make sure it will be finished nicely. Very nicely!

My daughter's illustration work


Hello! 


I graduated in Advertising in 2004 in São Paulo, Brazil. In 2007, I got a Masters degree in Photography. I worked as a full time photographer until 2012, when, in Milan, Italy, after studying at IED - Istituto Europeo di Design, I began my career as an illustrator.

Today, I live in Brooklyn, NY with my jazz player husband, two furry cats and a great internet connection. Let's talk!
