Hi there! Thanks for stopping by this substack on art and its stories.
I’m a writer based in Miami Beach exploring feminism, the resistance found in joy and rest, and how community is formed through art and language.
Here, I follow the stories that move through art practices, artworks, and exhibitions. This is a space for writing as a shared practice, shaped by guest voices and an ongoing, collective conversation. More about me below.
My path into the arts has been oblique, shaped by movement across disciplines and geographies. I first trained in law in Brazil, where I began my professional life before turning toward art and design. That shift led me to study industrial design, including typography, photography, and editorial production, grounding a practice that continues to move between image and language.
Since relocating to Miami Beach in 2000, I have worked as a graphic artist and art director across design and publishing. I’ve taught typography since 2008, where thinking through form and language remains central.
In 2013, I co-founded State of Wonder, initially an online gallery dedicated to works on paper. Over time, it evolved into a platform for writing, shifting from presenting images to engaging more directly with text and reflection.
In 2022, I earned an MA in Curatorial Practice at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Florence. My thesis, Eco-Existences: Forms of the Natural and the Artificial, combined exhibition-making, a public program at Palazzo Strozzi, and a published catalogue, exploring how communities inhabit the space between the natural and the constructed. https://kunstverein.it/en/publications/eco-esistenze
My work returns to language, women’s voices, and the ways meaning is shaped collectively through art.
