She lived in Paris between 2000 and 2002, where she took a summer course at the Carrousel du Louvre and completed her studies in drawing and painting at Ar.Co, the Center for Arts and Visual Communication, Lisbon, in 2006.

Her work has been exhibited in numerous galleries such as Galeria Matos Ferreira, Lisbon, and This is Not a White Cube, Luanda. She was also a featured artist in Expo 2015, Milan.
