Olga Poreda is originally from Poland, where she completed her Masters Degree in art and graphic design. Work and destiny brought her to Kelowna in 2013 which was a very interesting transition and an opening of a new creative chapter in her life.
The extraordinary beauty of the Okanagan inspired her to follow her calling as a artist.
Here, she found many likeminded people. The big adventure began with renting out an art studio at the former heArt school space on Bernard where, while working on slightly crazy looking paintings, she started meeting wonderful artists, musicians, poets...
The last few years for Olga have been all about coming “out of the shell” and getting back to singing, which she had abandoned many years ago.
Thanks to the support and encouragement from beautiful people involved with Kelowna Art’s Council, and their great creative initiatives like Songwriters “Stewdio”, or Our CoffeeHouse which connects artists with engaged, listening audience, she finally began to thrive and fully embrace her own artistic path.
Now she sings at “Beardy and the Beast”; jams, chants, loops, writes songs, creates electronic music, dances and keeps exploring her voice, experimenting with intuitive approach to singing, improvisation and her professional work. She perceives singing voice as a tool for grounding in the present moment, stress relief, meditation, and wishes to encourage people to try it out and see all of its benefits for themselves. She’s also enjoying intuitive dance which inspires her to dive deeper into the subject of mind-body connection. Being a part of this wonderful dance tribe has been an amazing gift... and makes her feel right at home.
She also keeps herself busy as a freelance graphic designer and occasionally videographer.
You can follow her work @ mindcrafted on Facebook.
