My mixed-media work, At Hierophants of Escapism, has earned a distinction at 4. Karpackie Biennale Sztuki at Regionalne Centrum Kultur Pogranicza in Krosno. Together with the recent work, Invisible Woman, it is shown between 1 XII and 30 XII in the Orange Gallery of RCKP among many wonderful works of Polish and Slovak artists. The exhibition is to be shown in Bardejov, Slovakia, in spring 2018.
