She won prestigious awards in her home country and abroad, as the author of numerous exhibitions. With members of Ethno Network from all over the Serbia, the renowned artist shared her inspiration and the techniques that are applied in her work. Members of Ethno Network would apply new skills in the production of pieces in the techniques of embroidery and gold-thread embroidery.
