ARTIST STATEMENT:
I am interested in what is often overlooked, yet with a
second glance is revealed to be precious. There are moments
in a day that quietly slip by without notice, the time in-between
memories. These quiet, in-between moments are filled with
possibility and are large enough to contain the imagination.
By juxtaposing recognizable imagery in believable settings,
I hope to evoke a sense of quiet reflection in the viewer,
perhaps tickling past moments they may have forgotten. |
BIO:
My family and I immigrated to the United States from Slovakia
when I was very young, this dramatic change influenced my
perception of the world and led me to pursue a life dedicated
to the arts. I have been painting for more than twenty years
and received my formal training from the Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia. My involvement in the arts
has spanned a broad spectrum: theatrical set designs, children's
museum exhibit designs and fabrication, book cover illustrations,
murals, fabrication team for Nickelodeon Network "Blues
Clues", "T.V. Land" and the "Big Help Mobile", instructor
at The Art Institute of Seattle. In addition to commissioned
paintings and sculptures, I exhibit my work nationally.
Currently, I live in Seattle with my husband and three cats
and enjoy spending my free time rock climbing, skiing and
sea kayaking. |
