About
I am a visual artist and art educator based in Portugal, with a background in Fine Arts and extensive experience teaching visual arts to children, young people and adults. I am a certified visual arts teacher and the founder of my own atelier, where I design and lead in-person courses, workshops and artistic training programmes.
My practice spans painting, drawing and mixed media, with a particular focus on watercolor as a space for experimentation, observation and expressive freedom. I regularly collaborate with museums and cultural institutions, developing educational projects that connect artistic practice, heritage and contemporary approaches to learning.
Through my courses and ateliers, I aim to create welcoming, inspiring spaces where participants can explore materials with confidence, develop their skills and nurture a personal artistic language. My teaching approach values process, curiosity and creative freedom over rigid outcomes.

A munha filha participou no curso da professora Joana Padilha e pôde aprender e simultaneamente pôr em prática técnicas de pintura em aguarela que lhe permitirão futuramente tirar partido das potencialidades infinitas que esta tipo de arte permite. Ela aprendeu imenso e pensa continuar a aprender a pintura em aguarela.
Fico à espera do segundo workshop para continuar a evoluir.
Obrigada
Embora a Joana se esforce por dar atenção a todos, acho que o grupo deveria ser um bocadinho mais pequeno para que cada um possa tirar as suas dúvidas.
Gostei muito de tudo
Obrigado
Adorei o workshop. Quero repetir.
