Self Portrait Painting

I was brought up in Poland where I studied Art with specialisation in tapestry making. I travelled to England after being invited to wave a tapestry at London exhibition. It was later in life, after my children were grown, I returned to studies at The College of West Anglia, where I received The Adult Student of The Year Award for Creative Arts in 2010. My work reflects the nature around me, garden beautiful moments and human natural tendency. I am fascinated by the shapes and colours of flowers, and enjoy challenges botanical painting presents. Now I live and work in Norfolk, and exhibit with the West Norfolk Artists Association . Apart from that my work was accepted for exhibition by The Society Of Botanical Artists in 2015. In 2016 I was exhibiting with Arts Lounge Gallery in Swaffham . I have been offered to exhibit in New York and Miami. Some of my work travelled as far as West Indies. My plans for the future - just to continue creating work people would enjoy.
