Creates MI TALLER DE BELGRANO, where she has developed, since the 70s, an artistic training job based upon the research and exploration of different plastic techniques, materials and procedures, and where she tries to help each student reach their own language through creativity.

In this place, children, teenagers and adults have access to the tools which allow them to express themselves.

Furthermore, she develops Art Therapy groups as a supplement to psychotherapeutic treatments, aiming to the emotional repair through the practice of art.
