Ana Patrícia Castro

Painting and decorating for 38 years in Rio de Janeiro

  • 🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
  • Rio de Janeiro Works
  • 1983 to 2021
  • Portuguese
I've worked in painting and decorating from 1983 to 2021. I learned from my grandmother and passed what I could on to 1,710 apprentices. The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 23 years later for another job. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.
