Motto:
Motto zaczerpnięte z wypowiedzi Magdaleny Abakanowicz – Nie lubię reguł. Są wrogami wyobraźni – najpełniej opisuje moje podejście w działaniach twórczych. Poszukiwanie środków artystycznych, tworzywa, materii i formy wyrazu, zgodnych z daną ideą jest dla mnie najciekawszą podróżą, dającą najwięcej satysfakcji, bez względu na wyboistość i zakręty po drodze.
