I am Swiss having lived in Switzerland for 35 years, originally from Slovenia. I embarked on an artistic path, studying with known artists and exhibited in Switzerland and in other countries, receiving various awards, including in Holland, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Russia and New Zealand.
My work reflects the passion and inspiration of being an artist. It is symbolic, full of colours, emotions and is part of a larger context of cultures and rhythms of life of the present and future in the countries visited. By following my own unique artistic path and with the colours I try to make a positive contribution to people’s lives. I am influenced by the vibrant colours of nature, the amazing variety of greens and blues and the sea. I have been living in Whitianga since May 2021, having lived in Kapiti for thirteen years and Wellington for two years. I am an elected member of the Academy of Fine Arts, a member of Mercury Bay Art Escape and Waikato Society of Arts.
