Marta Rogoyska studied Fine Art at Leeds University and Tapestry at the Royal College of Art (1973-76). She has exhibited widely with solo shows at Centaur Gallery in London and Ligne Roset in Paris, and participated in group exhibitions including 'Contemporary British Tapestry' at the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts in Norwich. Rogoyska's work is in a number of public and private collections including City of Leeds Museums, the Centaur Gallery and the BBC, as well as the V&A. She has also worked on tapestry commissions for Castle Howard.
Rogoyska finds the process of weaving both physically and intellectually demanding, stating 'I see its affinities with life so much, balancing on this crazy tightrope, trying to be intelligent about the future, learn from the past and very much involved in the present.'
