I graduated from Vilnius Academy of Art, Lithuania where I accomplished BA in Ceramics art and BA in Graphic design. During my studies I was mostly interested in hand drawing and sketching. In addition, I used to work in different design and advertising companies, but illustrating and handmade art has always been my basic occupation.

I always touch two sides of the world in all my drawing themes. On the one hand, I enjoy creating in fun spirit cute, naive, simple, positive, colourful things. And on the other side, I research strange, surrealistic, quirky and whimsical characters.

I am skilled in most traditional media art, which involves using pencils, watercolour, crayon, and etc. Also, I like to bring texture to my works. So, I use different recycle papers, collage papers, plasticine, wool, etc.
I love to draw cats, little birds, fishes, foxes, oak acorns, blooming trees,  weird creatures, keys, fluff, seeds, sprouts, secret boxes, insects, angels, demons, owls, drops… etc.

Feel free to contact me to discuss any project proposals.
