Who is your art teacher?
Hi, my name is Orsi. I am a truly nature loving Hungarian living in the Netherlands where i discovered my passion for art. With a professional backround as a Mandala Dot Artist and currently following an education in art therapy, I would love to guide you through your creative process during this wonderful retreat. Being creative, making some art and experiencing the healing effects of it is highly essential to our lives, i strongly beleive. "Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow." This quote from Kurt Vonnegut says it all. I live with my very special 23 years old son, a gorgious cat and loads of plants. Besides art I love music, dancing, yoga, cooking and of course hiking. You can find more about my work here.
