I was born in 1974 and rose in Latvia, in a Russian family. In 1985 I wanted to start studying in an art school. My parents were laughing at me and didn’t believe in me. But I have been admitted into the art school with excellent results. After finishing the art school I have been studying with a personal art teacher. In 1990 I have entered Rezeknes Art and Design secondary school, I didn’t know Latvian language which was needed in order to get into school, nevertheless, I have successfully made 60 out of 51 needed points and have been accepted to study as one of the 3 best students. I have been studying there for 5 years on the faculty of interior design and advertising, and I have gained qualification as an artist-master. After finishing the course I have been retrained for a curtains designer and left the art for a long time in my life. Whereas, my teachers were telling me that I have to continue studying in the academy and continue to paint professionally. In 2009 I have moved to London together with my daughter, where I am living until now. Nearly for 25 years, I didn’t paint, except few acrylic pieces I have done for my soul or as a present. Few years ago I have gave a birth to my exceptional daughter with a Down syndrome. I have been through very difficult moments of my life, I have a lot of emotions and I can feel how I have to get rid of them, portraying them on canvas is my way in life at the moment. I have took a paint brush in my hand just a few weeks ago, and I want to continue to develop my talent, I’m interested in exhibitions and contests, and in any other ways which will help in development of my talent. Time is very fleeting, and vision is getting only worse with a time. I have organised a schools of art for Russian speaking kids from different countries, around 2 years ago. Now, I am trying to develop this school so that I could give all my knowledge of a classic Art to kids
