Artist with over 20 years experience in exhibits, galleries, studios and teaching. I participate art shows locally and internationally.

Ultimately I want to see my students graduate as thoughtful makers, creators, designers and independent thinkers. I enjoy accompanying them in the process of discovering their potential and addressing their weakness and hopefully their path will lead them to artistic excellence and independence in all areas of life. 
Born in Bulgaria, teaching the Slovak language for conversational and practical use.
The pride seeing your great creation that you never can see inside your brain exactly before it appears on the canvas as a unique copy of the human vision is my challenge of teaching.
At my spare time I like to travel, hiking, skiing and outdoor painting. My favorite pets are the birds, especially the parrots.
