Combining my passions for the written word, botanical images, ceramics, paper and textiles, I find great satisfaction in the creation of many different art pieces from my graphic designs.

 

Once a design is created on paper, it is transferred to a linoleum block, carved and used as a stamp which can be impressed into clay slabs or onto paper. The process adapts to many artistic disciplines (graphic arts, printmaking, ceramics and even textiles). The result is an innovative surface treatment to each of my pieces.  Most of my work is very colorful and it is reminiscent of the folk art of my Slovakian family roots. 

 

I was born and raised in Leader, Saskatchewan, Canada and received my BEd (Art & Music) from the University of Saskatchewan. I taught elementary school in Saskatoon and I have made Regina my home for the past 40 years.  I continue to sell my work through Traditions Handcraft Gallery (Regina) and from my home studio.  You can see view my sabbatical project "Moved by the Spirit", a group exhibition focused on faith and art, in the video section of my website.

 

I invite you to connect with me via email or make an appointment to visit me at my studio.  I look forward to hearing from you!
