Marta Golubowska is an artist and art educator. Originally from Poland, she arrived in Ireland over a decade ago she lives and works in County Kildare. Marta started her artistic education as early as the secondary school which was art profiled, from which she progressed into the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, in Poland.

The appearance of two children in Marta's life brought new challenges and opened new possibilities. She could start living her dream of putting her art career back on track again. In 2016 she received the prestigious Emerging Artist Award from Kildare County Council, for work 'Be-longing' about growing roots and looking for identity in a foreign country. This became her first solo show held in Riverbank Art Center in Newbridge.
