My work is an exploration of my movement through life and different cultures, expressed in colors, patterns and forms.
Years ago glass became my passion, from the very first day I entered a glass factory. It is fascinating how an orange, hot liquid becomes a transparent, stable object.
It is such a beautiful material, so fragile and strong at the same time, and so full of surprises.
It has a life of its own – it changes expression with the light or the point of view, just like our minds and our hearts. It is very inspiring – the challenge of accidents when I have to rethink my ideas and adjust to what the material tells me.
I am inspired by nature, the richness of color combinations, textures, and different light. My work usually starts with a color or a pattern idea, then evolves into composition and playfulness.
My goal and aspiration as an artist is to give beauty and creative boost to viewers and users
in their everyday life.
Born in Poland, and partly raised in the Netherlands, I came to Sweden in 1979. Fifteen years later it was time for a new set of moves, this time to Germany and six years later to Austria.
After having lived in so many different places, I feel like a true European, adopting the best of every culture.
After obtaining a Masters degree in Graphic Arts at the Academy of Arts in Warsaw, I attended the Orrefors Glass School in Sweden, where I learned glass techniques and how
to blow glass. During the years 1992 to 1994, I had my own stained glass studio in Stockholm.
Throughout the years I have been working with many different media: advertisements,
studio glass, stained glass, teaching, painting, quilting and pottery. Since October 2008 I have been an owner of a glass kiln in my studio .
