About me
At the age of 18, I started my professional studies at the Technical College of Fashion Design in Budapest,Hungary.
While attending school in 1999, I was given an opportunity to help my aunt, a famous Holocaust survivor,Dr.Erzsebet Hollo, to illustrate the cover of her soon to be published book. She was so pleased with the results, she asked me to illustrate several more pages of her book. That is where my career in Art took off in Hungary.
In 2003 I began working at a well known stained glass studio in the heart of Budapest's art district. This was a life-changing event for me. I fell in love with glass forever! I learned various design skills and crafting techniques, which all helped me broaden my artistic knowledge of colors,structures,acrylic and oil painting techniques, aquarelle (watercolor), and my then soon to be personal favorite, glasspainting.
My days were spent making Tiffany lamps, stained glass windows, colorful entrance doors, space dividers, and other stained and painted glass products destined for Hungarian art enthusiasts and connoisseurs. During this time, I was a mentor to students of diverse nationalities, teaching them the 100 year old techniques of Master Glass Artist Miksa Roth.
In 2005 I opened up my first Private Art Studio in Budapest. I was able to work with both children and adults, and teach them all levels and styles of Art, ranging from drawing to ceramics. I even worked with several international, high-end clients who supported my Art Studio and the opportunity to launch my first professional exhibition in Hungary. Immediately after that, I was reinvited to set up my first permanent exhibit at the world famous Central Cafe in the heart of Budapest's historic district. In March of 2008 I was invited to Tündérrózsa Gallery, Hévíz ,Hungary where I also was found worthy of a second exhibition. As a result of those, the leading Hungarian Art Magazine praised my work as "exquisite refection of authentic style and elegance..."
Finally, in the summer of 2008, I moved to the United States with my family. Here I continue to create and share my unique style of Art on with enthusiasts of all ages, who like me, have the desire to make the world a more colorful place for everyone !
