Happy Friday 13th y’all! ❤️💋🌹🍷👹💄🍎🍓🍒🌶❤️‍🔥🩸♥️

According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina, an estimated 17 to 21 million people in the United States are affected by a fear of this day, making it the most feared day and date in history. But did you know that in Italian popular culture Friday the 17th is actually considered a day of bad luck? 🐈‍⬛

I’ve personally never felt any some sort of special way about this date; it does however scare me how many people are missing out on all of the EXCLUSIVE art posted weekly on my official @patreon page! Such as this @procreate digital painting of fellow artist Kate @stormy_artpage 🪆

Gain access to the full version of this artwork, along with other perks such as sketchbook tours which will never be published anywhere else, priority invites to art shows, behind the scenes of my making process, annual art competitions, and the honour of calling yourself a Patron of the Arts - for as little as €1 per month and support a living dedicated artist today! 👩🏻‍🎨

For the past 1st month back in Latvia, I’ve been fulfilling my intention of practicing a lot of observational drawing. 👩🏻‍🎨

All of my Art Patrons have access to the 21 postcards that I’ve created in this time period, accessible through my @patreon page (and they’ll also be sent out as rewards for all my middle and highest tier Art Patrons). I’ve also made a little video preview of these works, which you can check out on my YouTube channel - LINKS TO ALL IN BIO 👩🏻‍💻

Next, I’ll be tackling proper en plein air studies… wish me luck! 🖼

Vacation mode - activated! ⛱

While on a visit to the 15th annual sand sculpture festival in my hometown of Jelgava, with this years theme being ‘Latvians in the world - from idea to legend’ I got a picture with my favourite famous artist: Mark Rothko; born Markus Yakovlevich Rothkowitz. An American abstract painter of Latvian Jewish descent. He is best known for his colour field paintings. 👨‍🎨 🇱🇻 🖼

We’d like to let you know that I am official very unavailable for the foreseeable future, and that you can reach me nowhere until I get back from enjoying this glorious hot summer. See you later alligator! 😎

This is the end, technically. Since this exhibition is completely online however, through the magic of the virtual world it is possible to experience these works up close and personal - as much as the professional photographs and in depth recorded artist talk video allow for it - indefinitely. So log on through the link in my bio and have a look at not only my very first solo show, but the first animal rights exhibition on the island of Ireland, and by a Latvian artist! 👩🏻‍🎨

Huge thanks to Studio Coordinator/Research Assistant Brian Mac Domhnaill for launching THE HUMAN ANIMAL program of events @backwaterartists and thank you very much to both Brian and Studio Director Elaine Coakley for everything that has made this exhibition such a positive experience overall, despite the pandemic. 🥂

Gratitude also extends to @zooteeka for contributing to the Artist Talk and for making my dream - of being a guest on my favourite podcast - come true! 👩🏻‍💻

Lastly I’d also like to thank everyone who engaged with the exhibition, and contributed to the feeling of celebration of this personal and professional accomplishment! 💖
