Hi, I'm Réka — thanks for stopping by.

I am a self taught artist, I had no special classes, no formal training – just a canvas, some paint, and the stubbornness to figure it out on my own. Over the years it's become my place to switch off and create — the thing I turn to when I want to get fully absorbed in something and let everything else go quiet, all the while telling a story.

But painting isn't where my story ends. I'm in my final years of gymnasium (Swiss secondary school), and I already know what I want to do next: become a doctor.

Medical school in Switzerland is a serious six-year commitment — three years of Bachelor's studies, three years of Master's — possibly right here in Fribourg, where we live, or at another Swiss university depending on where things go. Along the way there's tuition, books, and everyday living costs, plus a federal licensing exam near the very end that comes with its own real fee.

The CHF 10,000 isn't the cost of becoming a doctor. It's a head start — something to help ease the load along the way, whether that's a semester's rent, textbooks, or that final exam fee when the moment comes.

Every contribution — big or small — genuinely means a lot to me. And if you can't contribute right now, sharing this page with someone who might be interested in my story already helps just as much.

You can see more of my paintings at foxfire-arts.com — and if you'd like me to paint something for you, you can reach me through the contact page there.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for being part of my journey from self-taught painter to future doctor.

With gratitude,

Réka
