She graduated in architecture at the University of São Paulo, and from 1976, began to venture into the publication of picture books, with no text. Furnari has collaborated in the children's section Folhinha of the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo, in which she created one of her better-known characters, "Bruxinha".[1]
In 2002, she was selected to illustrate a new edition of six children books by Érico Veríssimo.
