HER WORK HAS BEEN DISPLAYED IN INTERNATIONAL VENUES INCLUDING HISK, TATE BRITAIN, NETWERK MUSEUM, THE MARK ROTHKO ART CENTER, AND THE BIENNALE OF CONTEMPORARY ART OF MAIA, AND IS HELD IN MULTIPLE PRIVATE COLLECTIONS.

PROFESSIONALLY, MARIANA IS ALSO THE CO-FOUNDER AND EDITOR OF THE PORTUGUESE ART MAGAZINE 'DOSE' - A PRINTED GALLERY FOSTERING AN ORGANIC NETWORK OF TALKS, EXHIBITIONS AND STUDIO VISITS AMONGST ESTABLISHED ART VENUES AND EMERGING ARTISTS AROUND PORTUGAL.
