She has a BA in Communication Design, by the Fine Arts College of Porto; and on her third year of course, Clara studied, thanks to the Erasmus program, at the Willem de Kooning Academie, in Rotterdam. There, she focus her studies in Illustration and Creative Writing. Later on, she finished her MA in Drawing and Printing Technics, researching the fabular relationship between Drawing and Writing.
