She lives in Croatia, she is mother of daughter and grandmother of 3 beautiful boys. Her family is most important to her. Family support her a lot in her art journey. She is animal lover, she have a dog. Artist Statement I am fascinated by the fluid technique and I try to transfer my experience of the world to canvas. The desire to paint is so strong and sometimes I wonder how come I didn’t start earlier. When I saw this technique first time I knew I had to do it. I believe that every man has his own destiny and that now is the right time for me to paint. I usually paint nature in my own way. In my artworks, the trees are magical; the oceans sing their song but also sometimes the sky cries. Lately I started to paint Space and Galaxy also.I also love mixedmedia technique.
