New Spring series in the process
Hey guys!
Yesterday was first day of Spring and what better way to celebrate it than to work on a new mini series.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you might have noticed that last month I launched my first series of 2023 and this was inspired by Spring. You can view it here.
With that being said, I want to keep exploring Spring colors in my work and capture the beauty of all the Spring flowers that I’ve seen in stores and brought home.
I love that time of the year. The flowers that I have in my studio have such amazing fresh fragrance. It’s impossible not to be inspired by them.
That’s how the idea for new mini series was born.
I had just come home from store with my new flowers and as I was sitting in my studio, I suddenly knew that something new is about to be born.
Outdoors doesn’t match the beautiful colors in the studio but that’s okay. It’s is why I’m working on this series so that I could bring Spring colors indoors and elevate the space.
The series will have 5 paintings in size 11,7x16,5”. I love working on smaller paintings on paper because they can be paired together on a wall and would look great in a white matted frame.
I don’t have the exact date when the series will launch as I’m still working on it but if you want to be the first one to know when it launches, you can sign up to my email list here.
New series coming soon
Hey guys! If you’ve been following me on social media, you already know that I have been working on a new series behind the scenes.
It’s been a while since I released a series,
Can’t show you everything yet but I can say there will be beautiful uplifting colors.
Colors that will brighten up your day.
The series is called Golden moments and launches on Monday February 6. My email list subscribers will get early access to view and purchase.

2022: a year in review
2022 was definitely a good year.
In the beginning of the year I worked on a series Bloom and shine that was inspired by flowers. I wanted to explore beautiful texture and colors in this series. This series was also the reason I decided to concentrate on painting flowers.
I decided to change what I had been doing until that moment and only paint flowers.
I felt so excited and wanted to start working large paintings again.
Enchanted garden was one of the first paintings that I did which was inspired by flowers and had the style and colors that I felt drawn to.
I was so happy with how it turned out,
I kept painting.
I felt like I had just discovered a new world.
A world filled with beautiful colors and magic.
Time passed by and Spring was showing its first signs. I felt so inspired by all the greenery around me and all the Spring flowers that had started to bloom in the garden.
I planted new flowers in the garden and used these flowers as the resource of inspiration for several paintings,
The collection of paintings were growing beautifully.
I loved working on large paintings.
Then I got offered an opportunity to exhibit at the group exhibition at Victoria Olt gallery.
I had 2 paintings at the exhibition.
I had an opportunity to meet other artists and see their beautiful art.
In October I participated in my second group exhibition at Victoria Olt Gallery. The exhibition was focused on art collectors who have just started their collection.
In the end of the year I worked on some smaller paintings and also finished one of my favorite paintings Simple delights.
I took some time off and reflected on 2022 and thought about all the things I want to accomplish in 2023.
I’m so grateful for all the experiences and lessons that 2022 brought. I learned so many new things about myself and art.

Gerbera daisies inspired abstract painting Endless love
Hey guys!
I saw so beautiful Gerbera daisies at the shop and I immediately felt inspired to paint them.
Aren’t they pretty?
I put on some really good music and dove into the endless flow.
Sometimes painting just flows out of me and this painting was one of them.
These gorgeous greens really transported me back to summer and made me think about love and passion.
When I finished the painting, I immediately knew how to name it. I decided to title it: Endless love.
These deep magentas radiate love and romance.
I’m really happy with how it turned out.
This painting is available through Victoria Olt gallery.
Would love to know what you think about this painting? What does it make you think of?
Rose inspired abstract paintings
Hey guys
I was at the supermarket and saw a beautiful bouquet of roses and I just couldn’t help myself and bought them.
At first I felt a little bit intimidated because this is not the usual color that I use in my paintings but at the same time I wanted to try something new.
As I started mixing the colors for the painting, I got a great feeling that something beautiful will come out of it.
Working with these colors were such amazing experience. I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful these pinks looked with all the fresh greens and gold leaf.
My mom came to visit me and told me that she loves this color combination so much.
Loved working on all the little details. Often times photos don’t do justice to the paintings so I wanted to share this close up so that you could see the gorgeous texture.
These beautiful roses lasted surprisingly long and brought so much life into my home. Fall is here and I’m glad I can get so pretty flowers from the supermarket to use as a source of inspiration.
What do you think about the paintings and the color combination?
Behind the scenes- new paintings in the process
Hey guys!
I’m really excited to announce that I’m working on new paintings.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably have noticed that I like to work on canvases and paper.
I’ve noticed that this is the best way for me. I like to switch between working on canvases and paper.
Working on smaller paintings ( on paper) lets me try new color combinations. I love it because working on smaller paintings removes the fear of messing things up.
The paintings that I’m currently working on are both 23x27,5”
The painting that I’m holding on the photo below, shows my painting Lost in the beauty. When I started working on the canvas, I used this painting as a color inspiration.
I’m sure the painting will probably change a lot in the process but it was really nice to start with these soft pinks.

How art has improved my mental health
It’s a chilly October evening in Estonia. I’m sitting on the couch with my cat Mia and sipping my favourite green tea. It was a National Mental Health day recently and I thought I’ll share a little bit my story-how art has improved my mental health.
Those of you who are new here, I have social anxiety. Fortunately I have learned to control the panic attacks.
Did you know that creating art has power to reduce the stress, improve your mood and lower anxiety levels?
I have loved painting since I was a child. I always loved to paint something. Whether it was a still life object or some kind of animal.
When I was in high school, every time when I was exhausted from homework and needed to get my mind off, I would get a little notebook and just sketched something. Most of the time I sketched just some shapes and drew faces. I found that very relaxing.
I create art to express myself in ways that I can’t with words. I love that about art. I love that you can use colors, lines, shapes and texture to share parts of you that people probably are not familiar with.
As someone who struggles with anxiety, I’m really grateful that I found my passion in art because it has helped me improve my mental health a lot.
Creating art requires me to be present in the moment. I’m 100% present in the creating process.
I don’t know if you’ve ever had a panic attack or experienced anxiety in some kind of way but anxiety takes all your attention away from the present moment and usually makes you worry about the future or some kind of event.
Thanks to creating art and therapy I was able to stop taking the antidepressants and sedatives years ago.
At some point Pandemic hit and suddenly cancelled all kinds of activities and meeting people were replaced with zoom calls.
This period of time really challenged my mental health. I’m so glad that I had art. I was able to put all my emotions in my work and heal through the process.
What do you do to improve your mental health?
Diptych abstract painting Labor of love
For some time I had thought about doing a diptych so I finally decided to do it on two 80x120 cm canvases.
If you’ve been following me for a while on Social media you might remember that few years ago I did a diptych similar to this one. I remembered how much fun I had had.
Summer is the most beautiful season and I wanted this painting to radiate love, beauty, romance, passion, joy, Summer, flowers.
I meditated each time when I started working on this painting. Meditating always gets me in the right mood and gives me good ideas.
I’m really happy with how this painting turned out. Let me know what you think in the comments section

New painting- ‘Lost in the moment'
When I started this painting, I didn’t have any idea how it will turn out but I had a goal. I wanted this painting to bring a lot of joy to it’s future home.
It’s actually the first time I’m working on a large canvas like this. It measures 80x120cm.
I totally lost myself in the process of creating it. It felt like it took me to a very beautiful garden.
I hope it evokes something beautiful in you. If you have any questions about the painting, do not hesitate to contact me.
