Born in 1965, lives in the Southern part of Poland at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains in a raw climate. 

Katarzyna got seriously interested in art for the first time at the age of 15. She particularly has interested in Fiber Art since that time. 

At first, she studied her passion for five years at High School of Fine Art in Bielsko-Biała in Poland. Diploma in 1985 as a Textile ArtDesigners.

Personally she is a minimalist and exponent of Slow Life.

A R T I S T S T A T E M E N T  - About the art

She loves to create abstract art (Painting & Fiber Art), because it is often the purest form to express the inexpressible for her. 

She synthesizes anything that is insignificant, to the bare essentials to the point when art is most meaningful.Her pieces are known for its independence in style. She meditatively create with peace of mind, balance and single-minded focus. She hopes that her Abstract Works are the essence of simplicity, near Minimalism. Her textile are always mindful and contemplative, meaning that they manifest themselves quietly over time and they are usually received in a different ways by beholders, collectors andcritics. 

A R T I S T S T A T E M E N T  - About the art
About materials:Katarzyna was brought up according to the rules of self-limitation of her own needs. Over time, she is increasingly more aware that we are not able to correctly recognize our own real needs.

She thinks that todayproduction of new unnecessary things has no justification. This also applies to the Art.So, she thinks today Textile Artist should focus on the recycled fibers or only natural yarn. Only then, production of new things (including new works of art)is not pointless. In her Fiber Art, she uses only recycled or up-cycled fibers and fabrics. 

She is sure that, it does not reduce the value ofher work in any way. Katarzyna hopes that, her sustainable Textile Art will influence others and reduce the need of buying andsurrounding herself with unnecessary things.
