Ela
Artistic Amber was started in 2002 by Elzbieta "Ela" Skalska-Golanka to exhibit Baltic Amber from her homeland, Poland. Each summer
for three months she returns to her homeland to share her ideas and designs with the best amber/silver craftsmen in Poland. This gives
her the chance to fulfill her fantasy of sharing the beauty of Baltic Amber in the most artistic forms with America.
Her first major
exhibit was at the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce 2003 Expo, where she received the "Most Creative" award from over 100 exhibitors.
"I
have had a strong desire most of my adult life to expose spectacular Baltic Amber to the world," Ela has said. "I wanted to take something
of beauty from my birthplace to my newly adopted American homeland in Florida."
