I have been working with glass for over 20 years. Initially I painted glass tealight holders as a Christmas present for my friends and family members. Later my colleagues asked me to paint glass vases, wine bottles, and other glass items. I find if I like a glass shape, I paint it. When I get an idea for a painting, I try to paint it on wood, or on paper, as well.
Volunteering at the Queen Street Commons Café, I saw how well the marketplace for handmade items worked, which gave me the idea to include my paintings there for sale.
I am from Budapest, Hungary. Artistry runs in my family, my grandmother was an artist, and an art teacher. I have grown up with arts since my childhood. I also try to introduce our culture to Canadians, by including traditional Hungarian patterns and motifs in my paintings.
