Coursed Antonio Arroio Art School, where she helped to found the Free Atelier, painted in the Beaux Arts Academy, planted cofee, teached and learned in Africa.
Later she did illustration for magazines and newspapers, spacial concepts, choosed colors, designed objects, built a house, imagined several.
Never stops imagining spaces, shapes, colors, to film or to live with. An architect was lost, a producer was gained. For wonderful productions!
A film selected for Annecy's Festival and a reference in Les Cahiers Du Cinéma at the age of 12 animated a promissing career. That was the first of several awards.
After his graduation in Graphic Arts worked with Mario Jorge, the animation guru, with whom he made movies in all techniques. He was the first graduated 3D animator in Portugal, in the early 80's.
Founding Trix, directs animation by call, live action by claim, actors by invitation. Keeps on animating, drawing, illustrating.
