In my work as a fashion designer, I have encountered glass in the form of costume jewellery and jewellery all my life. Gradually I fell in love with glass and started to need to create things of lasting value. That is why in recent years, apart from fashion, I have also been creating decorative and utilitarian objects such as bowls, trays, plates, candlesticks and paintings using the technique of glass casting. From the first idea, the design, the form, the building to the final refinement, everything comes from my hands. I love the feeling when an idea or just a thought comes to me and I materialize everything into a piece. I see glass as a medium for giving out beauty and joy. Visitors to my studio will see original glass works from small pieces to large paintings.
