  1.    I have been drawing since childhood. I enjoyed visual arts at school and I attended the after-school art classes. After high school, I followed my passion, immersed myself into the beauty of the floristry and attended design courses on flower care, handling and arranging. It took me a while before I decided to study at the Art Academy of Latvia. The experience and skills which were enhanced by artist Helēna Heinrihsone helped me through entrance examinations which I passed and enrolled in Art Academy therefore now and always, I want to express my gratitude to Helēna.

       I entered the Department of Restoration. Through my degree, I gained valuable knowledge and enriched practical skills. In the technologies of paining and restoration. I had a chance to scrutinize and study the structure of paintings. I have an in-depth understanding of its various layers – from the base material to the varnish. For a few years, I had a fantastic opportunity to visit the Latvian National Museum of Art and duplicate masterpieces. This experience has forged my painting style and signature.

        Flowers, trees, and wild-life – all that comes from God, nourish me with love, energy and inspiration which I reflect in my paintings. I am happy and thankful that I am given this talent, hence following my passion, enjoying the moment and fulfilling desires. I express and share delight and positive emotions via my paintings.
