Saturejka – Mária Sládečková

Hi! My name is Majka and I create under the Saturejka brand. I am a graduate of AFAD in Bratislava, where I studied in the Studio of Illustration and Printmaking, later in the Studio of Free and Color Printmaking. During my studies, I created several author's books and various projects, including a series of Demotivational Calendars. My long-term project Saturejka's Puns has also started on the school grounds, which I am still working on today. I regularly participate in art markets with my prints. You can see my work here next. :)
