Paulina Tokarski is a self-taught artist originally from central Poland who found her way to Canada in 1988.

Paulina`s true passion lies in working with alcohol inks on aluminum composite and yupo paper, where she finds endless possibilities for creativity. Nature serves as her greatest muse, inspiring her with its diverse beauty in shapes, textures, and colors. As an avid hiker, mountain climber, and skier, she finds solace and inspiration in the backcountry and the power of the ocean. These experiences fuel her creative exploration and renewal, reflected in her art - a reflection of her surroundings and the imaginative realm within her creative mind, a sanctuary where she can lose herself in endless possibilities.

Settling in Invermere, nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, Paulina discovered a deep
connection to the outdoors, which has since become a driving force behind her art.
With features on CBC radio and exhibitions aplenty, Paulina`s art has captured the hearts of collectors both in Canada and beyond.

`I am particularly drawn to the enchantment of alcohol ink, my primary medium. The dance between alcohol and ink is a magical interplay, creating fluid, captivating compositions with rich colours and textures that seem to move even in stillness. Enhanced by acrylic paint and mixed media, my artwork gains depth and emotion, evoking a sensory experience.

Working with alcohol ink poses challenges, as a single drop can erase hours of work. This has taught me to embrace the unpredictable nature of the medium, finding beauty in the unexpected. Each piece is an extension of my surroundings, reflecting the beauty of the natural world and serving as a reminder of its sanctuary for the mind and body. My goal is to convey this marvel, inspiring others to cherish and appreciate the wonders of our environment.`
