Between 2006 and 2012  – she was a curator for the Art Museum of Timisoara, Romania. Since 2014 she is a curator for the Art Museum of Craiova, Romania.

Over the past years, she had 24 personal exhibitions, of which 9 in Italy, 1 in France. In 2010 her work was exhibited at Teatro dei Dioscuri within the Quirinale Palace Assembly – Italy Presidency.  And in the same year, she represented Romania at the Painting Symposium in Luxor – Egypt.

She is a member of the Romanian Artists, Association and I.C.O.M of the International Council of Museums, and Romanian Scholl of Rome. Italian Art has been the center of her interest for the past fourteen years and she states that the encounter with Italian Art has facilitated her development as a mature artist:

“I rediscovered the human body, as the bearer of endless aesthetic potential and an eternal theme of the history of art.  Along with the two-year fellowship in Rome I engaged in a thorough study of the Baroque fresco, ancient fresco — study which also influenced my style of painting.”
