"In these spaces of nature and silence, where imagination played without limits, the first, silent connection with art was created. The parks became living beings, witnesses of growing up, inner conversations and maturation. Every rustle of leaves, every ray of light - they were replicas in a small theater of life," the statement reads, and the audience will be able to witness all of this.

She studied in France (Pont-Aven, School of Contemporary Art) and the United States (Art Center, Aspen).
