"I loved the exhibit in Kretinga of women working the fields of flax and the display of farming tools. This inspired this piece, which is in progress. I am excited about this because I have been wanting to do a series about women working, so maybe this is the beginning!!"
"When I arrived in Palanga, Linas gave me a wonderful overview of the pagan history of Lithuania. I visited Witches Hill, which taught me about the exquisite wood sculpting of your native artists."
