I was born to a French family in Lithuania. My mother was an artist and encouraged my early interest in art. When I was in High School ,teachers noticed my ability in drawing and painting .At home I made tube from paper, place inside small pieces of different color papers and was slowly rotating that tube and magic was happening. Instead pieces of paper and by using my imagination I vividly saw images of people ,buildings ,flowers . Fantastic world was opening in front of my eyes. When I continue rotate that tube picture was changing for amazing world in front of my eyes. It was my escape from gray Reality. I fall in love in those colorful images. It gave me Joy.
