Graduate and PhD in Fine Arts (UPV/EHU). Nowadays, she is lecturer in Art Education at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). She has gained recognition for two six-year periods by National Committee for the Assessment of Research Activity (CNEAI).



DESIRED PROBLEMS currently investigates the potential of artistic processes for the jump to a Project Oriented Learning (POL) and problem solving (PBL). This model of teaching and learning requires an integrated interdisciplinary approach where curiosity becomes an engine of knowledge and guidance, and starting point for exploring different solutions in a constant search for personal satisfaction. This research model empowers imagination and pays special attention to the process of experimentation or making: a perspective based on the culture of doing (Do It Yourself) recycling, sustainability and low cost.



Her most recent results have been published and exposed in the framework of different international congresses and symposia, in Valencia, Lisbon, Vienna, Copenhague and Oporto among others.
