I am a full-time mom and, in addition to taking care of my family and household, I find pleasure in oil painting, watercolor and drawing with crayons. I use art as a tool for my mind cultivation and emotion release. I do painting as a part of my daily mental hygiene.

I have enjoyed drawing and painting since I was a child and picked up a pencil for the first time. I was fascinated by paintings in galleries and illustrations in books. I longed to learn how to capture the transience and emotional content of the present moment.

I studied biology at Charles University (Department of Immunology), while artistic activity was a beloved hobby. I took joy in expressing my admiration for animals, through drawing and painting.I learned the basics of drawing during my adolescence from Mgr. Jan Majer, who opened a workshop for children and worked with us enthusiastically. I continued at the art school in Vlašim under the guidance of Mgr. Jan Dvořák, who introduced me to many different artistic techniques. I became most fond of artistic expression using crayons or oil paints. In 2019 and 2020, I completed an oil painting course at the AvvY studio in Prague.
