About
Originally from Tallinn, Estonia, I am a classically-trained artist with professional experience across multiple visual disciplines. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts, I worked for several years as a set and costume designer in theatrical and film productions throughout Estonia, Russia, and France. My creative practice later included mural painting and illustration, including children’s literature and graphic novels published in Canada, Poland, the United States, Russia, and Estonia. My mural work has been commissioned for private residences in North America, with the vast majority being for homes in Illinois and Ontario.
My multidisciplinary background has resulted in a practice grounded in technical skill, narrative awareness, and a deep interest in the emotional and cultural dimensions of visual art.
