Fashion designer and illustrator. 

"I grew up surrounded by artistic family members, so imagined myself only in this kind of field and purposefully pursued this dream. I finished Šiauliai art school, later learned more about painting at Vilnius art academy, Telšiai faculty. Finally graduated Vilnius art academy, Costume design. During studies I fell in love with fashion illustration, looked at professionals‘ works and improved my skills by painting a lot. I have worked with different kind of Lithuanian designers and develop my own mens‘ fashion line, but fashion illustration and painting still goes together with me. It helps to express my mind and later becomes exspressive interior accent. I work with fashion magazines, which expand my audience and let me see my paintings from different angle. Participation and achievements in national and international art and fashion competitions, exhibitions encourage me to move forward, improve and highlight the distinctive creative touch," - says the author.
