Calm

a picture I made last week when I needed to find a calm place and put my thoughts in order.

little jewels from the States!

I was really touched to hear that a primary school in USA did an arts month based on my collages, here are some of the works made by 3rd grade students, I love them! 
"The Giant Fishman and the Apple Tree" By Ty Montoy
"Are You Happy?" By Mackenzie Lundberg
"Nick Transformed into a Chipmunk" By Marcus Giuliani

illustrations for CD and DVD "Viegli", a music project with some fine jewels of Latvian music and literature.

Last month was a very very exciting one, as I was asked to produce illustrations for a new music collaboration between colossal Latvian poet Imants Ziedonis ( a very influential person in my life, I grew up with his beautiful and challenging writing) and some of the finest jewels of Latvian music ( Renars Kaupers, Janis Holsteins- Upmanis, Mara Upmane -Holsteina, Raimonds Gusarevs, Karlis Kazaks and Janis Strapcans).
Here is a screenshot of the project's website, I will post the illustrations as soon as the CD and the film is released on May1st. You can listen to the songs here: http://www.fondsviegli.lv/albums-viegli

kitchen designs - tea towels

Me and my friend and artist Anna Lewis, have started to experiment a bit with designs for kitchen products. Here are my first two samples for tea towels. The originals of both designs are hand made, using colored paper and ink.
