Mirka’s fifty years of creative energy have resulted in a prolific output of work across a range of media – drawing, painting, embroidery, soft sculpture, mosaics and doll-making.
Her colourful, sensuous iconography has emerged from the breadth of her interests and reading, her love of classical mythology, her desire to reclaim and make sense of childhood and familial relations, and her recognition of the power of sexual desire.
