There she acquired a certification as a TIRA Instructor (Traumatic Incident Reduction) from 1995-1997. Art was calling her, and in 1997 she decided to embark on a private journey to Indonesia. Since childhood she was fascinated by abstract expressions of any kind.

From 1997-2002, Petronilla attended selected classes with lectures in modern and free painting in Europe to expand her knowledge of contemporary art. From 1997-2003 she traveled increasingly to Southeast Asia. After receiving the debutant grant from the State Ministry of Art, Science & Culture in 2002, she participated in several international art symposia and residencies in Europe, Asia and the United States, by invitation only from galleries, art associations and foundations. In 2004 her art was awarded in Florence, Italy. In 2009-2014 Petronilla worked temporarily in Vienna, Austria, and in 2015 she received another official award.
