I can say that 2014 was a turning point for my work, and better end of the year than in the form of participation in an exhibition Celebrating Print 2014 in New York I could not even imagine. When I recieved an e-mail where they wrote me that my print "Little Red Riding Hood" was chosen to be one of the prints presenting the Slovak and Czech background of traditional printmaking I was more than excited and I could'n believe it. But it was all true and I can say it was amazing and very motivational experience for my work and art life.

A little about my print:
Little Red Riding Hood is illustration made in graphic technique- Linocut and it reflects my personal view on this traditional children's fairy tale. It show little girl hidden in forrest, who is soon-to-be eaten by wolf , which is ironicly her own shadow. This moment reminds us that all fears are hiding in ouselves and it depends on us if we let them "eat" us.
