Milka has been painting since she was fifteen, and she received her formal education at the Academy of Fine Arts. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions, and her works adorn the walls of many houses.

In her small oasis, the painting school “Art Workshop” is dedicated to working with children of different ages. She upgraded her knowledge in the field of youth education with Maria Montessori courses, as well as Ranko Rajović’s NTC system.

Milka is eager to reach out to a student’s inner child because she believes it releases creative potential.
