She was also artist-in-residence at La Maison des Auteurs in Angoulême and at the Literarisches Colloquium in Berlin. She currently lives and works in Río Cuarto.

Nacha's comics are mainly autobiographical or start from the basis of an autobiographical component. She usually uses personal experience as a motivation to draw. Always thinking that each person is born and grows up in a particular economic, historical and socio-political context, which at the same time is linked to the collective experience. Caronte (Charon) is a comics that emerged in October 2024 in the framework of the event organized by the literarisches Colloqium Berlin "24 hours of comics at the Wannsee" organized by Augusto Paim. Caronte (Charon) carries the souls of those who have been given funeral rites across the rivers Acheron and Styx, which separate the worlds of the living and the dead.
