Bio

From 1986-2018 she has taught the goldsmith design at Pietro Selvatico in Padua, in the last three year she has held Goldsmith design courses at Beijing Institute Fashion Technology China. She lives and works in Padua. Since 2013 she has been the Chairperson AGC Association Contemporary Jewellery.

Statement

I look for a distinctive sign in my own work by observing the response of metal to heat from the fire, the signs that could emerge from action upon the surface, and materials in which lightness and flexibility could coexist and create a particular tactile effect.
