My artistic journey started at the age of 3. I saw a need for art everywhere -in my mom’s recipe books, walls and every doll’s face was in need of improvement. At the age of 8 i started private art classes. Going forward I got admitted to my dream high school in Gdynia, Poland (zsplast.gdynia.pl) where I learned many great techniques and old school art. Painting was always my favorite.  
In 1999 I decided to move to USA and have lived here ever since. I left my footsteps in a few states in form of many murals , portraits, outdoor decorations and paintings. I studied Fine Art at Florida Atlantic University, Florida.  
Today I am a very lucky mom of 2 wonderful children and 2 dogs and 3 cats. I make art and teach art to kids and adults. It is difficult for me to focus on one and only trade. Besides traditional drawing and painting and book illustrating  I love to upcycle furniture, work with tiles and stones, paint faces, crochet and make jewelry plus many other things…..therefore the name Goatrades was born …..kind of like “Jack of all trades” but instead - “Girl Of Art Trades”.  
Please, dive into my realm of creativity!
