Hello!
Welcome to Wholeheartedarts. I am Agata May’kowska, the proud founder and dedicated artist of this wonderful platform that I thoughtfully created to provide individuals with a serene space where they can be uplifted by the beautiful good and profound truth found in art—without being exposed to the more disturbing and disheartening elements that permeate today's culture.
I was born in Poland and later moved to Mercer County, New Jersey. My art encompasses a range of styles, from modern abstracts to emotive portraits, with a focus on the relationship between people and God. Using acrylics and mixed media, I aim to inspire reflection on the human condition and our need for God. Despite facing challenges, including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple eye surgeries, and partial loss of vision, I persist in pursuing my passion for art. Through prayer, determination, and adaptability, I have developed unique techniques that allow me to create meaningful and impactful artwork.
In 2022, I embarked on a remarkable journey into the world of writing, crafting and illustrating three enchanting books for children, among which our family's beloved favorite is "Joey the Rooster Boy." My aspiration is to cultivate a happy and innocent library for my grandchildren, brimming with adventures, laughter, and timeless values.
In 2023, I proudly published "We Loved You Before You Were Born; And You Were Born Just Right," a heartwarming tale that encapsulates the love we have for every child, especially our newly born grandchildren. This cherished book quickly gained recognition, becoming a brief bestseller in its category and receiving glowing reviews from parents, teachers, and grandparents alike.
My ultimate goal is to create engaging and uplifting stories that inspire children to embrace their uniqueness while nurturing a strong faith and understanding of truth. Through my work, I aim to ignite a sense of wonder and joy, guiding children on a journey of discovery and spiritual growth.
“Be Smart Do Art”
In my free time, I served the community by starting an art camp for kids in Trenton called "Be Smart, Do Art" at the local church. However, now that I am helping with our grandchildren, I have had to pass the baton to someone else. Additionally, for two years in a row, I taught a writing class at the local school for middle school-aged kids, which resulted in them publishing their first book. To learn more about my "It is Never Too Early to Write Your First Book" program, please send me an email.
Despite the challenges I've faced, I believe that life is a precious gift from God. Through my art and writing, I aim to uplift and inspire others, reminding them of God's faithfulness and encouraging them to have faith, hope, and persevere. I firmly believe that one day, in the presence of God, all our struggles will be nothing compared to the glorious eternity we will experience.
Thank You!
