Marta Mouka

Marta Mouka is a textile artist who creates textile collages and wearables such as silk scarves.

Marta studied graphic design and visual arts at the College of Applied Arts in Brno, Czech Republic. She ran a graphic design studio in Toronto for 14 years specializing in magazine art direction. Her extensive design experience brings a strong sense of composition to her work.

Creating art for over 30 years, since 2008 she has been a fulltime textile artist, living and working in Tweed, Ontario. She has held solo shows, participated in juried group exhibitions and has received numerous awards. Her art is in private collections across Canada.

My work relates to Canadian nature in a very physical and literal way. The organic evidence captured on silk, documents the beauty, mystery, and healing properties of native plant material.
