I carried my love for fairy tales and enchanting woods through the youth. After many years of searching for the way to express myself in art, the idea of the Mysterious Forest was born & my embroidery & sewing journey began.
I adore embroidery because it brings together wonderful and two of my favorite practices in art: drawing and craft. Drawing is about an idea, searching for colour combinations, composition and shapes. It is about thinking and sketching. But crafting is all about feelings and tactile impressions. Your hands just know what to do. It is when you take a look at the materials and ideas come by themselves!
My usual workplace is my home studio. It is a small room, which looks like a vintage-filled Hobbit hole. It is full of all the essential instruments I need for creating. My cat Little Carrot usually sits on my lap and purrs.
The medieval, victorian & renaissance epochs inspire me a lot and you may feel them in my works.
