BIO

I attended the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Cracov. While in university, I worked for the Stained Glass Company S.G. Zelenski, the oldest atelier in Eastern Europe, and have been called an emerging young artist at the Art Glass exhibition in France. A year before graduating, I took a trip to the United States and stumbled upon a century-old monument and its stained glass windows. However, the majority were in disrepair. The church asked me to restore over one hundred panels dated back to 1906 and create additional contemporary pieces. Within a year, I traveled back to the East Coast.

FAILURES AND FAVORS remedy for hollow

The project was kept on hold for years due to its enormous cost and scale, but first, a need to find a mastery-skill person. I accepted the offer and left my native country to initiate a massive renovation. Although architectural glass was my foremost commitment, my knowledge of a job to the detail and the ability to identify issues put me in a management position. I took a neglected space, reimagined it, and with persistence, turned it into something. However, in contradiction to the knowledge I have obtained from my education and popular ideas, I discovered that the intangible benefits of hard work — such as pride in achievement, satisfaction in goals met, and the financial reward of accomplishments live a short life. And, after all, they do not feed an exhausted body and spirit. At this point, one resume ends, and the new one begins. My revised Curriculum Vitæ is short yet effective – Grace alone.

And now, give me this Mountain!
