Motivated to keep select narratives relevant, she re-contextualizes poems and works of non-fiction as fine art and artist books for new audiences. Agriculture, the mother of all arts, and “making special," a human behavior described by the scholar Ellen Dissanayake have influenced and guided her work.
Radujko received her Masters in Library and Information Science from Rutgers University (2005) and a B.A. in Communication from William Paterson University (1999).
She is currently working on two manuscripts. One is a children's picture book about her immigration experience. The other is a novel which captures life in "Libraryland," a term coined by the late Robert White, former Executive Director of BCCLS for over 30 years. The novel explores surrealism, librarianship, the book as an object, and the personal papers of my paternal grandfather.
Her studio is located in Erector Square in New Haven, Connecticut.
