Education & Background
Tatjana was born and raised in Latvia, a small country on the Baltic Sea coast, next to Sweden, Estonia, and Lithuania. It gained independence from Soviet occupation in 1990 during a peaceful revolution. Latvia has been influenced by Western European culture and traditions. Some well-known artists from Latvia include Mark Rothko, Vija Celmins, and Gustav Klucis. Latvia is also known for its opera singers, ballet dancers like Mikhail Baryshnikov, and vocalists like Maija Kovalevska and Kristine Opolais. Tatjana, born in 1954, divides her time between living in the capital city Riga during winters and a small town called Iecava during the warm months. She resides in a private house with a decorative garden and a workshop. As a lecturer in painting, drawing, and composition, she imparts her professional skills to her students. The ultimate judgment of an artist’s genius lies with time, spectators, and specialists.
