I graduated at  Liceo Artistico Selvatico in  plastic disciples with full marks, then I graduated in law at Padua the University, then I graduated as comic therapist and at the Galante Garrone academy as a circus theater artist.

I am sculptress, project designer - performer - trainer - acrobat - artist - creature designer and I develop community projects based on art as instrument.

I studied theater with several masters including Tapa Sudana, Cesar Brie, Roger Assaf, Emanuel Lavalleè, Giuliana Musso and puppetry at the Curious School of Puppetry by Sarah Wright.

I trained in wood carving following the master Mario Iral, in the production of marionettes with Stephen Mottram (England), Jordi Bertran (Spain) and Teodor Borisov (Bulgaria), in the creation of wooden puppets with Giulia Rossi and Jimmy Devies.
I experiment daily with different materials and I studied wood sculpture with Rossana Filippi, marble sculpture with Federico Soffiato and Manuela Boscolo, the sculpture of foam rubber with Natale Panaro, modeling of cardboard for the construction of giant puppets with Damiano Giambelli, the creation and processing of paper starting from the pulp with Riccardo Aiossa (Masterclass at the Venice Biennale), the construction of giant sets with the Russian Team of Cardboardia, the construction of wooden matrices with Perocco and then create leather masks with Andrea Cavarra and Vittorio Riondato or papier-mâché with Sartori.

My research aims to awaken the life that is hidden in the material, to give body to the spirit of things, to provide dynamics and movement to the inanimate material of which I put myself at the service as a creator and actress.I am developing my research investigating the theme of motherhood as ancestral creation and the relationship of women with nature.

In this way a series of sculptures were born that talk about women in transformation, metamorphosis, evolution in a dynamic of change that belongs even to me.
I like a art piece that tells a story, that can communicate beyond the beauty in a direct way and to resonate in the observer, as it resounds in me while I realize it.
