She has exhibited in galleries such as Silves AC in Almería, La Vidriera in Maliaño, Cantabria, Galería Fernando Pradilla, Galería tres por cuatro and Extensión AVAM in Matadero Madrid.

She is inspired by popular media such as cartoons, comics, fashion, children's stories and music videos to approach the issues that shape us as individuals and as a society: relationships, fear and freedom.
