I am a Lithuanian born American artist. My creative career started as a porcelain artist in Kaunas, Lithuania and it lasted for eight years, up to the time (1988) of my leaving for the United States, where I switched from applied arts to a fine arts. Another eight years, a number of group shows, three solo shows, and I decided to study Graphic Design. After mastering the technology I was ready for the corporate world and was hired at a business consulting firm/academy as the creative director. Wile it was truly interesting and informative experience, I found my self going to hell in increments (corporate "bottom line" culture is not conducive in nurturing empathy, or for that matter humanity). So, to save my sole, I did the U turn and went back to solo career. I started my own freelance business “Monograf”. Working for my self afforded more time for creative work.This time however, my primary tool was a computer. While working with an occasional client or two on a commercial projects, I managed to fulfill my creative needs to, since 2003 I have had four more solo shows:

Whimsical Art • Hole in The Wall  • Plying with Old Masters • Entropy

As an artist I have never been loyal to any particular technique, style or concept. Having an insatiable curiosity and engaging in perpetual learning, I could not stay in a defined artistic position for very long. Constantly reinventing myself is my Constant, and it defines me as an artist. However, it doesn't do much for my public recognition; fact is that all of my art, from the various stages of my life, looks like it's been done by different  people.

As a graphic designer, artist/illustrator, and photographer, I can offer creative solutions in web design, print collateral, packaging, branding, image consulting, as well as an array of fine art and photography.
