Welcome and thank you for your interest!

I was born 1976 in Prostejov, Czech Republic.
"To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist."Jasper Johns


Many travels abroad and one Foreign Student Exchange Programme in Ipswich in Great Britain enabled her to develop herself as a sensitive artist with an acquired painting style of her own. She prefers oil technique and pen and ink drawing as a media to translate her thoughts, ideas. The inspiration is drawn from nature, landscape and the theme of the nudes are predominant in her artworks,..... feeling liberated in her expression, perhaps oscillating between the choice of decorative and structural motives. Only in one point in each style is the possibility of equilibrium found, in which a search for the strength of expression and at the same time emotional lucidity never ends...

In those following years between 1990-1994 my interest took me to the School of Applied Arts in Uherske Hradiste in order to achieve needed painting skills.My motto follows the thoughts of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century artist Pierre - August Renoir that a picture should be something charming, beautiful and harmonious, because there are too many unpleasant things in this world.Group Exhibitions:1996 - The pedagogical faculty, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic1997 - Student Cafe, Palacky University in Olomouc, Czech Republic2004 - Plumlov Castle, " Plumlov Walks " in the Czech Republic18.09.2009-20.09.2009 Group Exhibition with the Contemporary Art - Kunst Verbindet Kuenstler Online Portal:" Kunst zu Gast in der Nordstadt" in Solingen, Germany.,
