About Me
Colors and Kindness
Czechoslovakia, Europe
As a little girl growing up in a orphanage for nearly twenty years, filled with cruelty, physical and mental abuse, racism and discrimination, mistreatment, and bias - an experience that seemed unfathomable - a kind old man once advised me not to fear colors. I was probably about seven when he visited. I knew he didn't show up to harm me. I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him, even though we had never met before. Our meeting was short, but it made a lasting impact on me.
As they say, the Universe works in mysterious ways. When I moved to Canada and visited the Homer Watson Gallery, I was immediately drawn to it. The statue of Homer Watson caught my attention from the back corner of the room. I felt compelled to approach it and as I got closer, I couldn't look away. His features were just as elegant, loving, and familiar as the ones from my childhood memory. The words "Don't be afraid of colors" took on a new significance for me.
My journey as an artist began in 2018, despite having no formal training. I've always been drawn to colors and emotions, using them to express myself in a way that my words cannot. Painting became my thing because it allows me to see the beautiful, the meaningful, and the interesting I can share with others. And that is the real beauty of all. To share. I wouldn't necessarily call myself an artist; instead, I see myself as an observer, a deep thinker, trying to connect dots together.
If you find my paintings beautiful, then simply put, THANK YOU.
Yours,

Do Swans die of a broken heart?
Swans have only one partner for their entire life. If their partner dies, they could in fact die of heartbreak. Scientists found that swans, the members of monogamous species could pass away from a broken heart if their partner dies.
Be Kind do them.
Elephants and swans have lots of in common. They both never forget. They will remember if you have been kind to them. Shouldn't we all?
My Book - "Grown-ups Don't Make Any Sense"
One day, I will share my story with the world, because I know, deep within me, that it matters. I hope you find the courage to do the same, because your story, too, is more important than you may ever realize.
If even a single person, after turning the last page of my story, chooses to hold their child a little tighter and cherish them a little more, to keep them to love them, and not to leave them behind, in an orphanage, then I know - in the quietest corners of my heart and soul - that my work on this earth was worth it. My purpose will have been fulfilled. My mission will have been accomplished forever.
