CURRENT MISSION

To understand what is ART and why we need it

ABOUT ME

Originally I come from Riga, Latvia. It has been about 3 years, when I've been living abroad. First I moved to Tartu, Estonia to study photography and learn Estonian language there. My next stop was Edinburgh, Scotland where I continue my photography studies at Edinburgh College of Art.

Art and travelling is my passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One summer I went on a "euro-trip" together with my boyfriend - from Estonia to Spain by hitchhiking.

Also me and my husband we love cycling together around Edinburgh, Pentland hills are perfect for mountain biking and the beautiful nature gives peace to your heart.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to develop a photo film and how to copy black&white pictures in a dark room.
Also I can teach the basics of painting with oil colors or basics of drawing.
