AN ENNIS photographer has added more gold medals to her growing collection of awards in the field.
Beata Rosik originally worked as a primary school teacher for twelve years in her native Poland. Since 2007, she has been happily living in Ennis which she now regards as her home.
Not long after arriving in Ireland, Beata was diagnosed with cancer, during her treatment and recovery she discovered a passion for photography. Her style developed and using her life experiences and current affairs for ideas, found techniques to bring her own signature style of art to her photographs.
Having represented Ireland by claiming accolades in photography over the past seven months, Beata in the last month claimed two gold medals in the Nicosia Photographic Society in Cyprus International Contest as well as the Best Female Entrant Award.
Since July 2021 her photography has been recognised around the world. She has won many prestigious international awards including the Federation of International Art Photography (FIAP) Gold, Photography Society of America (PSA) Gold and Global Photography Union (GPU) medals, and two Blue Pin Awards which is the best award a photographer can get in an international competition.
Her photos have received other awards and have appeared in exhibitions in Canada, India, Iceland, Georgia, Sri Lanka, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Portugal, Cyprus, Ukraine, Tunisia, North Macedonia to name a few. She received the GENIUS (G.APS) Distinction Award from Agile Photographic Society in Bangladesh.
She hopes to continue to develop her fine art photography career in Ireland, with exhibitions and hopefully sell some of her art. She is willing to share her ideas on portrait photography through workshops and to encourage children to enjoy taking photos looking at everyday places and things with new eyes.
