I was born in 1974 in Riga,Latvia in an artist's family. I received classical training at Janis Rozental's high school of Art and in The Art Academy of Latvia (with BA,MA)in Riga,Latvia.
I first started to participate in gallery shows in 1992, when I was 18 years old.
Before moving to Canada I exhibited in Riga, Berlin, Prague and Rome.
I immigrated to Canada in 2002 and since then have exhibited in Toronto,Ottawa and now in Vancouver.
For the past 6 years I've been working with Buckland Southerst gallery in West Vancouver.I had 3 successful solo shows with this gallery(in 2006,2007,2008).
I live in Vancouver with my husband,daughter and son.
I'm influenced by architecture,interested in form and colour.

My paintings can be found in many private collections in Latvia,Germany,Sweden,Russia,Italy,U.K.,Australia,New Zealand,U.S.A.,Canada and France. … Read More
