I have always loved art.  I remember this was my favorite subject at school.  I liked to paint on the walls in my home.  Mostly in my own room that's why I got away with it.

I was born and grew up in Poland.  As a teenager, I came to the US with my siblings and parents.  It was a totally different world, new school, new home, no friends.  I missed Poland very much. And still am.  Still like to go back to visit and Poland and Europe will always be dear to me.
I was reading a lot of books back then and this helped me to survive.  And also painting and drawing. I was able to immerse myself in my dreams, in my own world, and in my memories.

In college I discovered photography.  Back then you had to have a real camera and rolls of film.  Every picture counted.  I was fascinated especially with Black&White photos.
I graduated from Dominican University, IL with Business Administration and Fine Arts.  Got married, had kids and moved to a small town. Working in a completely different field and putting my art to sleep.
But art was strong in me.  It managed to find little holes to come out of me.
I got up in the mornings and went to take pictures of sunrise and morning dew on grass. I went to the lake to catch sunset.  I started to paint on silk scarves.  Went to NYC for a workshop.  Painted for myself and family and friends.  I loved how the silk paint or dye came together, how it danced on the silk.
I was hungry for more, I wanted to do something but I didn't know what. I was looking and searching.

I found a Milan Art video on YouTube one day.  Enrolled in the Beginner Course first to taste.  And after that I enrolled in a year long Mastery Program.  I know it was it.  Creating art was my passion.  It woke me up and I started to paint again and see it and feel it.
I want to paint beautiful paintings that will experience emotion and make people happy.
I love God and know He has a plan for me and I want to use my unique talent which He gave me, which I was blessed with.  The world needs me and what I have to offer.

1 Peter 4:10 - “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.”

I live in South Dakota with my husband and dog Romeo.  Family is very important to me. I have 2 lovely adult children and 2 precious little grandchildren.  I love to travel.

My favorite Bible verse:

Isaiah 41:10 says, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand".
