Who we are
Have you ever dreamt of making the space around you a bit more artistic and unique? Maybe acquire a special object, which would bring you joy every time you look at it? I can help you to achieve all these goals by sharing the knowledge I acquired throughout my professional career and my life changing love to art.
First, let me tell you more about myself. Although I was born into an artistic family, my journey has been very long-winded. I grew up between my dad’s artistic studio and mum’s office in museum soaking up lots of artistic vibes and skills. Allured by success and money, I immersed into the world of trading metals and climbed up the career ladder in this cut throat industry.
During my 20 years in finance, I become a senior leader and team manager despite all the odds of being a non-english woman in a very male dominated environment. I built new businesses, travelled around the world speaking at high profile conferences, established vast network of connections across the industry and, most importantly, I have become a mentor and an inspirational role model to many like-minded individuals.
The turning point in life was when I lost my father a few years ago. This tragic event pushed me back into art world. I graduated as an interior designer from the renown KLC School of Design (now West Dean) and together with a business partner have run interior design company for several years.
I started to frequent live drawing classes and painting in oil under thorough supervision of maestro Tom Davies from London School of Art. I combined hiking, my favourite outdoor activity, with painting en plein air (big thanks to incredibly talented maestro Andrew Barrowman for teaching me a couple of tricks at St Ives School of Painting!) immersing my paintings with incredible energy of the natural elements.
A few years ago, I decided to try ceramics. Clay has taught me to be patient, stay humble and to manage my temper. This grounding experience helped me to deal with a very stressful period at work and make new friends in the friendly world of creatives. I find inspiration in organic shapes and sinuous lines bringing natural beauty in the daily life.
I am very excited to welcome you to my world, sharing my works and inspiration behind the creative process. I am delighted to help you to find your artistic vibe and transform the space around you!
