Magdalena Rutkowska runs her art studio from her home in Northern Ireland. The name of the IKE studio comes from Hawaiian philosophy and means “The world is as you think it is.”
Her greatest inspiration is nature, thanks to which her works are full of color and expression. The artist pays special attention to details, which is even more amazing considering that she has been blind since she was 6 years old. However, Magdalena is determined to live as fully as she can, using her sense of touch and hearing.
