Silvana is a gifted and talented artist in many mediums.
Silvana spent her early childhood in Manaus, a city on the river of the Amazon of Brazil. In this Third World Country at the time, at age five she started swimming, playing tennis, and studying art. She soon was in the school's swimming team, teaching others how to play tennis, and continued her studies at the prestigious French Art Institute late into the night, after her regular day at the local Baptist school was over..
In South America at the time, soap operas were the rage, and even little kids would stay up to watch them! But Silvana fell in love with music and acting even before that, when she would go with her grandmother Sylvia to see children's traveling productions at the turn-of-the-century built Opera House, and she decided to become an actress after seeing the movie Ben-Hur at the local cinema.
And when she saw an article in the newspaper about a casting call for her favorite tv show, Sitio do Picapau Amarelo (The Farm of the Yellow Woodpecker), Silvana knew she was going to be an actress. (she didn't make it to that audition as it was very far away, in Rio de Janeiro but the acting bug definately bit. Soon Grandma Sylvia was taking her to acting and dancing rehearsals in various productions around Manaus.
Silvana is a published author, poet, and artist with many showings all over California, New York, Seattle, Arizona and New Mexico, as well as some recent showings in Tennessee and Texas. Additionally, she also has appeared in a wide range of stage roles (classic & modern) in New York and L.A. as well as indie film projects.
