I draw from life to create a deep, optimistic understanding of the world around us. Born in Poland, raised in Australia and living in the USA, I explore visual patterns and communicate in ways that are uplifting, unifying and beautifingy. What is life for than to make it simple, and more beautiful for each other?
The subject matter of my work began as a detailed study of human anatomy which has been both a reflection of my aim to master my craft as well as an expression of my interest in human experience. Realism has now been mostly removed from my work, as I now aim to bypass the conscious visual response and inspire a deeper impact and understanding of my concepts.
My practice has relied heavily on creating line-work that reflects and provides insight into human thought and emotion in a positive way. To do this, I’ve explored the impact of color, shape and form and how it provides an experience that is thought-provoking and uplifting. My background in psychology comes through the way I seek to dissect human complexity with a visual simplicity and remain committed to a positive artistic commentary.
What continues to fascinate me is how visuals can triumph language in their impact across cultures and their ability to reach our core. Traditionally trained as a drawer, I have remained a keen student of line and form and utilize its principles when seeking to simplify. My medium of choice has moved from 2 dimensional paper to 3 dimensional fabric sculpture, metal sculpture and installation work. I’ve spent a period of time visually illustrating human energy and natural energy (fire, water ect) with regard to the impact of how natural energy visuals effect humans. Now, I visually dissect topics of mental health and explore ways of discussing it with a positive impact on my audience.
In my studio practice I seek new ways for my fabric sculptures to increase their weather resilience, and continue to innovative fabric forms as my unique contemporary art form. At the same time I expand into greater expertise of a personal style in metal works with the aim to continue to create large scale, permanently placed pieces that can be appreciated through the test of time.
Working globally, you can be sure I’ll be in your corner of the world and would love to share my work. Reach out to connect or to obtain an original, contemporary artwork made by me.
Best,
