Monaklaudia

I was born in Siemianowice Slaskie,Poland. My mother had to raise 4 children without any assistance from my father, who was not a part of our lives growing up. My mother died in a car accident 11 years ago. This was obviously a horrible time in my life, but it instilled in me a sense of independence and making every single day count. I lived on my own after the accident for 3 years which strengthened further my sense of independence. I then came to the US speaking very little English, with no money, but have managed to survive, thrive, and get the most out of my life. My passion for art has been with me for as long as I can remember. I always wanted to pursue my training in art, and my mother managed, despite the fact of us having very little money, to pay for my school. I instantly fell further in love with art, and have never looked back. In addition to my certificate in painting and interior design, I also graduated with honors in social work. I love helping people, but painting and drawing are my love and passion.
