Prieš gerus 25 metus, su grafika teko susidurti dailininko Edmundo Saladžiaus klasėje. Ir nuo tada atspaudo stebūklas sužavėjo visam laikui. Susikurti savą knygos nuosavybės ženklą -Ex Libris- norėjosi jau seniai. Visa eilė bandymų nukeliavo šiukšliadėžėn, o šį raižinėlį lyg ir pavyko prisijaukinti. Nemenka mūsų biblioteka jau seniai laukė šio ženklo. Ex Libris pirmiausia savo poziciją "patikrino" mano mylimo autoriaus Laimono Tapino knygoje "Prarasto laiko nebūna". Taigi šiandien mano namuose- ilgai lauktos knygų krikštynos. Dovana kiekvienai iš jų-Ex Libris.
I was introduced to graphic techniques 25 years ago in my graphic-teacher's (Edmondas Saladzius) class in Kaunas' Art College. I fell in love with it. Really. To create Ex Libris was my long time dream. For those who don't know : Ex Libris is a Latin phrase, meaning literally, "from the books." It is a graphical mark, often used to indicate ownership of a book, as in "from the books of..." or from the library of... Quite a few attempts in the making of my first Ex Libris failed, but that is the natural process. The last I made, The Owl, will stay. I love it. My first Ex Libris was glued inside the book "Lost Times Don't Exist" by my favorite writer Laimonas Tapinas. So today, after many years, has come my library's book baptism. A gift for each, the Ex Libris.

Atradimas/ Discovery
Šilko menas mane žavėjo seniai. Spalvos gilumo ir pačios medžiagos lengvumo sintezė yra tiesiog užimanti kvapą. Pabandžiau. Ir vėl pasitvirtino sena taisyklė-reikia tik norėti, daryti ir tikėti...
I was interested in painting on silk from long ago. Depth of color and the ease of silk comes together as a breathtaking couple. I gave it a try. Everyone knows the life ideal, you just need to want it, do it and believe... It really works.

Senelio paltuko sužydėjimas/ Grandpa's blooming coat
Kiekvieno augalo forma, tai ištisa istorija. Ir šie sudžiūvę lapai man primena vieną rūbą, kurį nešiojau studentaudama. O istorija labai paprasta. Padėvėtų rūbų parduotuvėje nusipirkau geros vilnos, anglišką, su meile dėvėtą vyrišką paltą. Kadangi buvau gal 18-likos o gal 19-likos, man visi sakė, kad tas "senelio paltukas" tiesiog sužydi, kai juo vilki jauna mergina. Tikra teisybė. Taip ir šie rudai žali lapai, primenantys senelio paltuką, gavo galimybę dar kartą sužydėti.
Every time I look at different forms of plants I imagine a new story. And these dry leaves brings me a story as well. They remind about one outfit I wore when I was a student. The story is very simple. I have had bought a good quality, made in England, worn with love old grandpa's coat. I was 18 or 19 at that time. All my friends commented, that the old grandpa's coat was blooming when a young girl was wearing it. And it was true. And now all these green-brown old leaves have a chance to bloom again. Just like my old grandpa's coat.
