With her love of ‘The Outback,’ Metka frequents these remote parts of Australia to explore, discover and collate ideas which serve as an inspiration for her artworks.

Originally from Slovenia, Metka travelled to Europe where she has held two solo exhibitions in her hometown, Maribor in 1987 and in “Galerija Grad” in the City Museum and Gallery of Slovenska Bistrica, Slovenia in 2011. She has also participated in several highly regarded group exhibitions in Slovenia, Italy and Austria. Metka has spent time studying under Europe’s Master Watercolourist, France Slana and most recently with Austrian contemporary artist, Gerhard Almbauer.

“With convincing depth and space and a very attractive play on light, she is always quick to exploit the lyrical and dramatic qualities of her medium. She presents the viewer with seductive paintings; an escapist diversion of colour and imagination” Sasha Grishin – Australian Art Critic and Author.

Amidst an impressive and industrious career, Metka’s Curriculum Vitae reflects her professional attitude and her ability to appeal to a wide audience. To date she has held over thirty five solo exhibitions.
