Work in the field of art
In early childhood, the only present Mirjana would receive with all her heart was a sketching block and a bunch of brushes which she collected and with which she converted her imagination and creativity into numerous drawings. She keeps them in the covers of her painting holders as most precious memories.
Today, when she has already made some huge steps as a professional artist, Mirjana often goes back to her gentle childhood dreams and converts them into her vivid colored paintings.
Her decision to be a professional artist was obvious when she entered Visual and Applied Art College in Belgrade (1993-1995). Although she has dedicated herself to pedagogical work as a permanently employed art teacher in a primary school in Belgrade, she directed her love and aspiration to artistic work towards further affirmation by entering the Faculty of Applied Art in Belgrade (mural painting department) in 2003.
