About the author:
She was born in 1969 in Ljubljana. She studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana (ALU), graduating in the class of Prof. Jožef Muhovič and Franc Novinc.
She mainly focuses on painting and installations but also works in illustration, computer animation, traditional artistic graphics, and graphic design. She has organized 20 solo exhibitions and participated in more than forty group exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad.
She has received multiple awards, and in 2013 she was honored for quality artistic work at the Festival of Fine Arts in Kranj by ZDSLU. She is a member of the Association of Slovenian Fine Artists (ZDSLU) and the Kranj Fine Arts Society (LD Kranj).
She works as a freelance artist and lives in Kranj and Goričani near Medvode. Her recent work consists of light-based circular picture-objects that, glowing like marking points, accentuate gallery spaces. These pieces represent mystical landscapes or female figures symbolizing archetypal models of humans and nature, our feelings, and passions.
