My name is Anna Dąbrowska – Pękocka, but I tend to use my nickname Finnabair (pronounced Finnavar) or Finn to make it shorter.
I live in Warsaw, Poland, with my supportive husband – Jedrek, who understands my passion, lovabe beagle, Ira and 2 parrots. I love books, photos, new challenges in my life and a cup of black tea somewhere nearby;)
I just cant stop creating since I started in 2007, when I tried several techniques like decoupage or altering. In the end of 2007 my friends passed me information about scrapbooking and in 2008 I made my first pieces … and I fell in love. My next step was trying mixed media and collage – and my love got even deeper!
I create because … I’m totally addicted – especially to collages, paper layouts and art journaling. I love mixing different styles, supplies and medias in my projects, as I think the joy of experimenting and the pleasure of creating freely is most important in every kind of art. For me it’s not important to define my style – I assume it is usually grungy, artsy, sometimes funky or shabby – or it’s everything mixed together! Are the names important? I just create in the way I feel at the moment and I am a very moody artist;)
I teach classes in scrapbooking and mixed-media both in Poland and abroad or create as a freelance designer for scrapbooking magazines or local shops and manufacturers. Since November 2010 I’m a Design Team Member for Tattered Angels, since 2011 for Prima Marketing. I also design for Polish shop – Scrapki.pl and I support such brands as Dusty Attic or Layers of Color. You’ll also find my projects in 2 challenge blogs: The Color Room, and Подари кусочек счастья.
I’m truly happy and excited to be in the team with such gifted, creative artists from all over the world. I strongly believe 7 dots studio will be a great adventure for all of us – giving inspiration, pleasure of creating toghether and great friendly atmosphere!
