I am an artist originally from Lithuania, with a style influenced by my degree in glasswork studies, and illustration. I’ve created work for exhibitions across Ireland, Lithuania and Germany.
My work has found a home in many private collections throughout Ireland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Poland, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, UK and Australia. I have been featured in publications such as the Irish Times, Irish Independent, Business Post and The Times (Ireland).
