What You Seek is Seeking You

What you seek is seeking you (Rumi)

Every time I say No to something, I create a space for a Yes to enter my life. After 6 great years running and teaching at Art School in Budapest I decided to take a sabbatical and give myself a gift of time for my own creative explorations and personal growth. This is something I need as a person, an artists and a teacher. I appreciate your patience and understanding. 

In case you would like to contact me during this period, please write to
