I am an expressive, visual artist working in diverse range of mediums. My journey into art is intertwined with using art therapeutically. Practising as creative therapist and artist allows me to enter richness of human experiences. I am fascinated by emotions, nature and human form. Art serves as a vehicle of journey into self as well as communication with others.
My artistic practice focuses on allowing the realm of emotions as well as transcendence experiences to influence subject matter and the way creative process can evolve. My way of working is predominantly intuitive based on spontaneous response in the moment to what appears on the paper or canvas. The body of work consists of intuitive abstracts, drawings, expressive human figures and mixed media pieces. The impact of colour is an important element in my art, especially ability to use less traditional combinations for emphasising qualities of subject matter.
My initial and beloved art form is visual journaling. These second-hand text books are her visual recording of daily feelings and converted into books of expressive forms. I work as a registered creative therapist, mentor and community arts facilitator in Northamptonshire and provides group art workshops for different organisations. I train counsellors in using creativity and art in their work with clients.
I am a professional member of Creative Counsellors Association and Person-Centred Creative Arts Association where I delivers art sessions for therapists trying to introduce creativity in their practice. I completed Diploma in Therapeutic counselling, Advanced Certificate in Parts Work, post level Creative Arts Therapy and Clay Therapy Training with Bridging Creative Therapies in Cambridgeshire, Award in Teaching and Education and originally in Poland MA in Sociology from The Nicolas Copernicus University.
