Czech Republic • 1990
Presentation
When I was 4 years old, I wanted to be an artist. Somebody asked me why. I knew I want to be free and be child forever. When I was 21 I studied Arts and Czech language with literature on Pedagogic faculty of Charles University in Prague. I thought I was born to be a teacher like my ancestors, but I loved a lessons of painting the most. I spent most of my free time in the studio. Then I worked like a teacher for 6 years, I felt very exhausted and in parallel I studied for Master's exams and I was totally depressed. It was the begining of my illustrated situations from my life. My followers on Instagram loved it, they shared my posts and wrote me they want to wear my illustrations on bag or t-shirt. My first calligraphy lettered inscription "I am the designer of my own catastrophy" was very successful. In 2016 I had my first public presentation od Design market in Prague. Year after my daughter was born and I left my job. This year I had my first exhibition with my illustrations from my motherhood. Next year I started with calligraphy lessons like a lecturer.
