SACRED FLOWER ESSENCE Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

I am an award-winning London based photographer of Polish origin with ARPS distinction from the Royal Photography Society. I have exhibited extensively in Europe and overseas. My more recent awards include the Foto Art Festival 2019 in Bielsko-Biala, an IPA Honourable Mention in 2019, the BIPP regional awards 2019, and Primo-Piano Atelier Prize 2020. I am a member of RPS, ArtCan, Association of Polish Artists in the UK and Spike Island. I am also an accredited Energy Healer, and trained in many modalities including Angelic Reiki, Intuitive Healing, Psychic Studies, Vinyasa Yoga, Mindfulness, Shamanic Journeying and most recently Mycotherapy. I am fascinated by healing qualities of water, and visit sacred water sites as part of my art and healing exploration. All images you see here are healing waters captured at different locations in Europe. I have been working with photography since I was 12, inspired by my father’s darkroom and his old school, analogue cameras. For many years I worked as a teacher and a consultant in inner London schools. I taught black and white photography in the US. My portfolio has taken a full round back to nature as a theme since I first started my photographic journey as a 12 year old. My first analogue cameras, full and medium format (Zenit, Pentax, Pentakon 6) were used to capture monochrome images of trees which I felt very drawn to as a child. I spent hours in the darkroom, in awe of the developing process. I shared my early passion with other young people teaching darkroom photography at an Art Camp in Pennsylvania. Colour, street and portrait photography came to me when I travelled the world as a young adult and was overtaken by the intensity of India,Asia and Latin America. At this time I also experimented with slides and Lomo photography. After visiting Argentina and discovering tango my style shifted to conceptual photography, I was captivated by the intimacy of dance and meditative movement. My portfolio attracted high profile clients from the corporate world. Since 2012 I have been regularly invited to shoot at board meetings, press release events, the parliament as well as conscious festivals and ceremonies.
