Helena Konopko

Beloved mother and grandmother. As a seamstress, she had a sharp eye for colour and aesthetics. She made her own clothes
and instilled a love for creativity and colour in her granddaughter. She believed in not accepting everything as it was
and believed in the power of applying your own ideas and making the world your own. She taught her granddaughter how
to make and change clothing to reflect her inner vision - how to make what you want on the inside appear on the outside,
and the value of aesthetics and presentation. She also shared her love of animals and fostered gentleness in caring for all sorts of creatures.
