Kosjenka Filipovic, Art Curator
Kosjenka Filipovic was born and raised in Zagreb, Croatia where she attended the University of Zagreb
studying art history and literature.
Since 1987 she has worked as an interior designer, helping to create living spaces for her clients that are
attractive, comfortable and in harmony with their surroundings.
While studying design, drawing and watercolor, she began to develop her own images that reflect a sense of
balance and a deep reverence for nature.
Her passion for contributing to a sustainable lifestyle is reflected in her work, inspiring a sense of
warmth and balance to any environment.
"My husband, Robert Theiss, and I live in the beautiful foothills of the Oregon Coast range.
Nature is very much alive in this part of the world. I enjoy spending 'unproductive' moments listening to
the sounds of a nearby creek or the song of a bird.
It is in these moments that I experience the presence and a deep reverence for nature.
My passion is to integrate that experience into my life and my artwork.
"I have found that I am especially fascinated by the beauty of the leaves and try to capture the endless variation of their shapes, colors and the exquisite detail through my mixed media collages. I use a variety of materials found in nature, paint and handmade papers to create images that invite us to experience the feminine aspects of life."
