Interest
My interest was pretty obvious since I remembered. I was drawing, painting and amputating legs of my dolls since I was a little girl. I guess that tell a lot. After my diagnosis at the age of 16 years old my new vocation became apparent.
Nothing was the same. I learnt that medicine is limited and it does not appreciate our mind and its powers in the healing process. That quickly put me off becoming a surgeon and instead I decided to devote myself to painting. It was and is my passion that I live for. The process of painting helped me to heal my soul from toxins of the past and implement new ways of living into my messy life. Painting was my salvation and blessing.
The decision to become an artist was obvious however it took a lot of courage considering that I was growing up in a broken home, single mother raising me and my siblings, father who spend every single penny on alcohol.
There was one memorable incident that helped me to decide what I really want in life regardless.
I had a massive bleeding night and my doctor was not sure whether or not I will make it till the next day.
I remember that night very well. I did not sleep. A stranger with whom I shared a hospital room was holding my hand keeping me awake.
The possibility of dying was very real and waiting right at the corner. I asked myself many questions that night. Out of all the most important questions was ‘How do I want to live my life if I will survive this?’ There was only one answer- to paint.
That is how I started painting my Heads series which you can access on my website. A lot of them were painted under my hospital bed.

The world changing
“‘Follow your bliss’”
We live in the interesting time. Although every generation was facing their own struggles.
Each one of us has been given a chance to change this world every day.
Not everyone realizes that. Do we actually want this world to be a better place?
That question actually became a cliché as everyone says it but there are only few who takes action.
By action I mean to start with yourself.
Let me rephrase this question. What did you do today to get to know yourself better?
Only through knowing yourself, by building your core values and self respect you can make a change.
The importance of Gratitude
Gratitude
is an amazing tool that speeds up the process of creation.
It is easy to do and it makes us happy. This is not something that I knew. I had to learn it.
Growing up in post communist Poland it never occurred to me that you should be more appreciative and find things that can be grateful for.
After researching a lot of self help books I rediscover this amazing concept that became the main principle in my life.
Two Things:
Enjoy ‘holding pattern’ and just relax
If you have been in a holding pattern where your resistance has been dissipated just relax in what is and make the best of your situation.
