About Me I was born in Poland where I received an honours masters degree in architecture in 1983. While studying for the architectural degree, I also took courses in fine art and in art history. My coursework included drawing, painting and sculpture. For the next four years I worked as an architect on many diverse projects, including two national award-winning designs. In 1988 I moved with my husband and daughter to the United Kingdom. After several years of working as an architect in the South of England I increasingly turned my attention to art, specializing in painting and also gaining experience in printmaking, textile design, sculpture and ceramics. In 1996 I moved with my family to the USA. I continued to pursue painting, taking part in shows and competitions. In 2004 I returned to the United Kingdom and now live in Wantage, Oxfordshire.
