what can become from ashes Print

GiorDana was born in Schwyz (Switzerland) on 30 October 1964 on a beautiful autumn day with foehn storm. She grew up in a family marked by art and creativity. The first professional training in art took place during her time at grammar school. There she received the highest grade in the subject of Artistic Design and the teaching staff recommended her to study at the art school. Since lack of money was a permanent companion during her childhood and the new generation (3 children) soon followed, she preferred to study business administration, however. In this field she is now working part-time as a manager. However, she never gave up art, especially painting, and has constantly attended numerous training courses, individual workshops as well as year-round courses. Thus, in addition to training in drawing and painting, she has acquired knowledge of mosaic art, pottery, soapstone figures, icon painting, shoe design and construction, design and manufacture jewellery, glass fusing, encaustic painting and much more. When she met again in 2003 with her childhood love, who also showed his passion for art at the same high school, a new highly creative period of work flared up. Art stays and study trips to various corners of the world such as France, Spain, Italy, USA, Jordan, Oman, Israel, Tunisia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Nepal and French Polynesia followed. These diverse experiences led to the decision to do a professional training at the SKDZ School of Art and Design Zurich and to dare to show her work publicly.
