About me
I was very young when I began creating art, even before I could read or write. At home, I would draw for hours on every blank paper I came across. I used to spend hours simply doodling in my imaginative worlds on the big wrapping paper my grandmother used to give me.
​
Growing up in the Czech Republic, my love for the visual arts took a new turn when I enrolled in Ceramic High School at the age of fourteen to study porcelain and glass design. I had the chance to explore new creative techniques, hone my talents with new art media, and research porcelain and ceramics technology during this time.

An opportunity to work as an illustrator and creative artist for a printing company presented itself to me in the late 1990s while I was living and working in Germany. My work was featured in several craft publications, and I worked in a very creative field.

In 2004, I relocated to Australia which brought some new challenges. In 2020, I obtained my Interior Design certification in Sydney to improve my practical artistic knowledge and digital skills, which are very useful in today's environment.​

I have never ceased experimenting with art and its various mediums throughout the years, trying my hand at acrylics, silk painting, and more recently, epoxy resin. I never hesitate to try anything new, and I always get better as an artist in the process.

I can't wait to meet others who share my appreciation of art, offer my skills and real-world experience, and help them reach their own creative potential. The creative realm is limitless and speaks a universal language that cuts beyond national boundaries and cultural differences. It acts as an effective bonding element, which encourages empathy, understanding, and a mutual admiration for the beauty of human expression.
