Agata's practice began as a private survival language — something she turned to while recovering from complex PTSD. What started there, in a season of healing, slowly became spiritual expression: layered, tactile, and deeply personal. It has stayed that way ever since.
In 2020, she lost partial eyesight. Rather than limiting her work, it changed its shape — pulling her further into touch, instinct, memory, and emotion as the tools she builds with. The result is work that rewards close, physical attention: surfaces meant to be experienced in person, not just seen in a photograph.
She works with fabric, metal, glass, paper, acrylic, and found materials, building richly layered surfaces with real depth, movement, texture, and hidden detail. In the Atelier Collection especially, symbolic elements and handwritten Scripture are worked directly into the piece — embedded beneath visible layers, meant to reveal themselves slowly, the way a piece lives with you over time rather than all at once.
Agata is a published author, a grandmother of twins, and a woman of faith. She creates from the conviction that meaningful art is not simply observed — it is experienced, remembered, and lived with.
