TATYANA PALCHUK

Tatyana was born and lived all her life in Riga, in a small area between the Art Academy and Elizabeth Street. Already during kindergarten, teachers predicted the little drawer an artist's destiny. Tatjana lost her father at an early age and grew independently like other 50ies - 60ies kids, and she was the eternal engine and captain of the yard kids.

Tatjana enrolled in Rozentals Art School alone, even not informing her mum. The artist says that becoming an artist was not as easy as pie for her, and she had drawn on to the level of the more talented school and academy members, in her opinion, only by thorough and accurate work. Her teachers are indisputable stars

Tatjana is proud to have had the honor and uncommon confidence to visit and grow artistically at the academic's home studio and have him at her small studio in the Elizabeth Street apartment. The experience and know-how given by these art masters have been invaluable, and it has helped Tatjana grow into the one and only art figure she has become.
