I am a woman, Brazilian and mother of two beautiful women. It was while contemplating the mountains in Utah (USA), as an exchange student, that I discovered photography. Graduated in Social Sciences, I carry with me an interest in the human complexity that is expressed in my way of seeing, within photography. My main performance for almost 16 years. I have already contributed to the main design magazines in the country. I travelled through the Brazilian hinterland, mapping and recording popular art @projetosertoes. I photograph for renowned architecture and interior offices in Brazil. ​ And more. Telling stories with eyes. And look again, every detail. ​ The subtlety of feeling through what I see connected me to the philosophy of yoga. From the union of these two impulses, photography and yoga, my authorial project emerged, which can be seen at @ser.manas. ​ ​ Currently, in Connecticut (USA) expanding the frontiers of work, I carry in me the welcoming look of Latin America.
