Her research interests currently focus on student drawings at FAUP, using new technologies and digital archives, as well as extensions of Drawing, for different audiences, and reinventing the language of drawing, particularly observation. In addition to her work as a lecturer and researcher, she maintains a steady artistic output, producing visual art and curatorial projects.
