ABOUT

My Inspiration

PROCESS

I was born and raised in Lithuania, in a family of an opera singer and a film maker, and started painting and showing art at the age of 30. As a little girl traveling with my Mom around the country, I admired the work of traditional and mostly unschooled wood carvers. I was fascinated by the books on Albrecht Dürer, Hieronymous Bosch, Odilon Redon, poetry and visual art by Leonardas Gutauskas, Čiurlionis, as well as film scenes and stage sets - my parents' work environment. Growing up in what seemed to be a black and white Soviet world, hiding amongst hot projectors soaking in the explosion of color on the stage was surreal and fascinating.

I was introduced to intuitive painting while studying art at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. My teachers were Robert Spellman, Joan Anderson and later, Nick Bantock, a renowned collage artist and author. My surface is wood and canvas. I start a piece without a specific idea in mind, by drawing lines and shapes followed by pools of diluted acrylic or oil color. Fragments of a story are revealed by lifting paint, adding and erasing pencil marks, sanding. When it works, it feeling is that someone else is leading my hand, as though I am carving imaginary shapes in wood and fog.

in the country many kilometers outside Vilnius, where I baked clay pancakes using muddy peat from the nearby pond, helped churn butter, sharpened knives with a leather belt and spun the honey wheel and got stung by the bees once or twice. I often sat under a

and made pens out of the stork's feathers that kept falling to the ground.

I liked to make clothes from unusual materials

and the challenge to create something out of nothing. Once, I made a winter coat out of an old green parachute, and repurposed the soles of plain looking sneakers to create an impression

of ancient Greek sandals.

(The watercolor of me as a child is by my Father Arūnas Žebriūnas, a Lithuanian film maker).
