About me<\/h4>\n

I live and paint in the beautiful city of Latvia in Riga. Painting makes me happy!<\/p>\n

The inspirations I get from everything I see around: nature, birds, flowers, my daughters. I paint flowers, still life, nature, birds and dogs, but my favorite genre is girls: happy or sad, lonely or mysterious. I love to paint little girls and different types of faces. There is a story behind every girl. I transformed all my thoughts, feelings, dreams, sadness, joy, love into my own images. I work with acrylic on canvas and my favorite format is a square.<\/p>\n

I was drawing ever since I was a young girl. I graduated from Art school after 8 years of studies. I graduated from Latvian Academy of Art with the masters\u2019 degree in 2001. I have exhibit my art in various group exhibitions since 1997, also I had 5 solo exhibitions and my works in private collections in Latvia, USA, Israel, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Norway.<\/p>\n

Have a great day and thanks for visiting!<\/p>\n
