Tell us about your store. What kind of items do you offer?
In my etsy shop you can find a variety of rabbits, elephants, bears, birds and other animals. Each painting is created with great love and acrylic paint on the canvas. You can also find some “unanimalistic” paintings as a special order. Loving mothers ask for a picture of their children’ beloved toys (and these are not always teddy bears) or the child’s portrait.

How long have you had an interest in art?
To tell the truth, I cannot really say how many years. I haven’t lost children’s sensitivity to art. I graduated the Academy of Arts where I learnt and experienced various stages of my creative way.

How did you get started? Did you start by experimenting around, or did you take a class and go from there?
As I mentioned before I graduated the Academy of Arts where I studied, developed and improved my workshop.

Are there any particular mediums you like working with?
Actually, I have tried all the media – the traditional as well as the modern ones. At the moment I am really keen on canvas and acrylic paint. It is a traditional technique that requires some skills which are cultivated by me in the time of digital painting.

Is there anything you eventually want to get in to and master?
I am trying to develop and improve my skills and interests. I am trying to be good at everything – no compromise.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
I spend my free time in my garden or walking with my dogs across nearby wood.

What’s a question you wish I would’ve asked? And please answer that question.
“What do you dream about?” I really wish myself to be healthy and happy and even if it sound trivial I wish no wars in the world.

Please include ten fun facts about yourself.
I adore the smell autumn leaves and freshly ploughed soil
I would not leave my garden all day long – there is always something to do…
Since I can remember I do not drink milk and I would not have milk pudding even in a torture chamber.
On holidays – always at the seaside – it gives me energy and power every time.
You can learn anything about me from my paintings – just have a closer look at them and “read” between the lines.
