Artist information
My work falls into the category of Fibre Art. I was trained in the art of weaving in Poland and Sweden. In addition to fibre art I have worked with restoration and conservation of textiles, tapestries, rugs and carpets. As an art historian I have been employed by museums, auction houses, galleries and private clients.
I have been connected to England since my childhood. Before moving to Wallingford, I was based in London and Epsom (Surrey).
I work with natural and synthetic fibres, as well as other components, without restriction and allow the imagination to flow freely to achieve the required goal of designing the desired expression and theme. What combines all my works is their organic essence and symbolism. I often dye and spin my own yarns to obtain the needed requirement of the fibre I work with.
The subjects are based on my personal feelings, thoughts, experiences and observations. It is something that everybody can relate to in their own way.
My works have been exhibited in Sweden, Poland and England. Last year I exhibited at the Oxfordshire Art Weeks Group Exhibition at Wallingford Town Hall and at the Oxford Art Society, Open Art Exhibition 2024, The Kendrew Barn Gallery, St John's College, Oxford.
Exhibition information
The theme of my exhibition is dedicated to The Female: Innocence, Insanity, Survival, Roots and The Nymph. The “Me Too” movement has given women the voice to finally be able to speak openly without restraint about sexual harassment, abuse, assault, domestic violence, exploitation, gender discrimination and more. Women are now collectively empowered to raise awareness; provide and receive protection and support.
I am delighted to be exhibiting during the South Oxfordshire Arts Week 10-18 May at Braziers Park: in The Drawing Room of the Main House and The Barn, both Grade II listed buildings. Braziers Park lies in the beautiful Chiltern Hills, on the edge of the village of Ipsden and close to the town of Wallingford. I will be sharing the exhibition area with four other artists: Gio Botto, Wendy Botto, Jaqueline Burrage, Catherine Hale.
