About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Come back to art

ABOUT ME

People say that I am an open-minded, simple, friendly, responsible, patient person, with a sense of humour and creativeness, a childish spirit, quiet and crazy at the same time. I am true to others when others are themselves.

I travelled around for several years, studied too much of theories and sciences, I was very active in social and environmental movements, voluntary activities but I decided to come back home and dedicate my time to what I truly love - art. My passion is drawing, travelling in the nature and gardening. I love to be at the sea, tranquillity, earth colours, make cosy things. I love sharing and giving. I love passion for living and appreciation of small things. I love chatting, discovering and smiling with other people. I love working with children in the nature and drawing with them.

I try to help people, starting with my family. I joined vegetarian community 5 years ago and never joined smoking nor drugs.

PHILOSOPHY

"€œCarpe diem€"
Less consumption, less things, more space, freedom, inner peace and cleanness, more simple life, more happiness and time for people and things that matter.

Music, Movies, and Books

the Music - that inspires, relaxes and makes me smile: the wind in the leaves of the trees, the waves in the sea, the sound of the rain, the birds in the forest (and sometimes: bossanova, the 80thys, jazz, lounge, folk, signing poetry, classic guitar, electronic, reggae, world music, etc)
the Book - which I will never forget and which changed me (The little prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery). Now I am reading The good life by H. and S. Nearings and I really enjoy their ideas of simple and honest living.
the Movie - from which I learn-know-understand more (about consumption, political and social movements, and cultures, other countries, documentaries)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I realised I can be true myself, an artist.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like the idea of Time Bank.
I could teach some lithuanian, spanish, hungarian, esperanto, galician, russian, french words :)
I could try to draw your portrait.
I can sing a folk song.
I could share herbal tea with you.
I would love to get recipe of your favourite food or pastry, or your favourite music.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My home space, warm tea, dinner or breakfast, some time to walk in the streets or to the sea, some good music, tranquillity, smile, going to Life Drawing events, folk dances evenings and nice places in the town.
