This all looks very mystical, decorative, unique and elegant.
Stressed cleanness and perfect completition convey a very precise idea where occasionality is excluded.
The artist has been inspired byspiritism and imagination of space. A vewer can also find some traits at oriental art an philosophy. Many of her works carry erotic motives which are carefully hidden behind an utmostaesthetic impression.
The same could also be transformed to characterize the artist's personality and appearance. Her style of clothes and home design are perfectly elegant. In order to achieve it she has set up high requirements for herself.

Therefore she picked up supervizing students at Morrys Arand fashion studio where she could share her experience developing students understanding of art, music, speaking skills and body movements.
Since 1992 she became a teacher at Tartu Children's Art School where she is supervizing classes of painting and composition.
