I love creating and my journey into art was via quilting where I discovered my creative inner self.  For years as a music teacher I taught music through composition but felt inhibited to do the same. Quilting freed me and let loose my creativity. It opened the way for me to create art using a range of medium.

I have always been drawn to art, and shapes and lines in nature.  I now see everything through a different lens. Colour, shape, line, texture mesmerise me.  My work tends to be a response to nature, art, places,  and experiences.  I am also a  keen photographer and use my photographs as a source of inspiration and design.

I am addicted to see what I can create using foliage as my raw material.   I love working and experimenting with textiles leading to creation of art using the fabric medium, as well as mono printing on both paper and fabric and creating mixed media.  In addition I create one of a kind hand dyed, naturally dyed and /or ecoprinted fashion pieces, fashion accessories and home decor.

I was born in and live in Australia. My parents were WW2 refugees from Lithuania.  Music, literature together with a focus on Lithuanian language and traditions dominated my childhood. I never met my grandparents but indirectly they have had a big influence on me. Stories of their passions and achievements have always stayed with me and spurred my interest in the arts. My journey to art has been an interesting one.  You can read more about it here.

Travel in the Australian outback and the move to the Australian Snowy Mountains in 2011 is providing a strong inspiration and focus for the direction of my current work.
