Born in Rome in 1960. After obtaining a diploma in artistic studies, she moved to London for a few years where she studied design, photography (at the Polytechnic of Central London) and began an internship in the restoration of ancient paintings at art galleries. Her schooling continued in Rome, obtaining a diploma in mural painting restoration at the Colalucci school. After a few years working as a restorer of ancient paintings, she began focusing on painting and sculpture. Her artistic research initially approached Cubism and increasingly moved towards Informal and Abstract art. From 2001 to 2003, she studied with painter Pupino Samonà, participating in group exhibitions in Rome. She has exhibited in Italy and abroad. Her works are held in public and private collections and published in art catalogues.
