Background

I`m a Hungarian born fibre and paper artist practicing in Ireland since 1998.
Working as a fibre artist my practice evolves around the transformation of observed, collected and found visual material, unearthed form landscapes, fragmented forms and the changing images of these landscapes.
As a paper artist and paper maker I have been working with natural plant fibres (cotton, abaca, esparto, bamboo, rush, straw, grassetc), handmade papers, raw silk fibres, textiles and found objects (old fabrics, lace, shells, soil) for the past 13 years.

I have been exstensively involved in arts education, workshop facilitation, primary school residencies and community arts projects in Ireland. I organize and coordinate an ongoing programme of art and craft workshops for adults, young people and children in areas of Co. Kilkenny and I teach workshops and courses on Hand Papermaking Techniques and Batik at museums, arts festivals and other arts venues in Ireland.
Recently I have travelled to Tasmania for the 20th IAPMA Congress where I was invited both to exhibit my work and teach workshops.
