A graphic designer, silkscreen printer, and artist based amid hills in Slovenia.Beautiful scenery where you get all inspired.Under the slogan Goods to wear — to stare she presents her work through different practices and mediums (digital illustration, silkscreen printing, risography, sewing, etc.)
I am curious about your first interactions with art,and what inspired you to start making art yourself.
I don't know if I really have an answer to this. I remember doing a nice portrait of my dad when I was a kid that of course got lost somewhere, and I liked the art classes contrary to most classmates in primary school.Then lost touch for a few years, but deciding for university, I was split between history and graphic design. Sounds weird, I know. But then I bought a book about graphic design and was hooked. During my faculty years, I started going out more (never really did before cause I grew up in a village) – to concerts, and exhibitions and then a friend signed us up for a screenprinting course. It all escalated from there. I still need to learn so much though.
Jerry has been to Slovenia a few times.Can you give us some tips on what we should definitely do in your area?

First: Jerry, let's grab a beer (or coffee) when you're back here!Slovenia is a nice destination if you like nature, but it's tiny and gets really crowded during the summer, so I would suggest coming in spring or fall. Hikes are best then, lakes are still warm enough to swim in in September. In Ljubljana, you can find some nice creative collectives if you are looking for connections. The young scene is really vibrant. But if you're up for a road trip, I would recommend doing trips around the country, to all regions, trying local food, and going for walks and bike trips.
In December, we celebrate the mountains.The memories I made in the mountains stay in my heart forever.I see that you also dwell and the mountains.What attracts you to the mountains?
