Artist Statement

As an immigrant from Brazil and a single mother, my journey has been one of resilience and adaptation—balancing the challenges of life in a new country, motherhood, and building a career. Becoming a mother later in life has deepened my appreciation for every moment spent with my teenage daughter. Fortunately, we share a mutual passion for art, and our bond has grown even stronger as we explore and create together. Art has become a way for us to connect, express ourselves, and share our story with the world.
