EDUCATION
Born in Spisska Nova Ves in Slovakia. She graduated from UP in Koice, studying ceramics. Afterwards, in 2001 she received a bachelors degree at the Academy of Arts in Banska Bystrica in the studio of painting of Prof. F. Hodonsky. In 2004 she received a graduate degree at VSVU/AFAD in Bratislava in the photography studio of Doc. Lubo Stacho. During her studies she experimented with different kinds of art media. She created the board paintings for the Dominican chapel in Dunajska Luzna, and in 1997 she participated at the workshop of traditional icon painting in Russia. While studying at VSVU, she shot a few video works using photographs, for example, Annual Report (2002), Funeral Hearts (2003). Towards the end of her studies she started to work more with digital photography, although in her case it reflects painting as media. That is also when her graduation project, the collection, The Eternal Truths, was created. For this work, in 2004, she received the rectors award. She lives and works in Bratislava.
