View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Ingūna LevšaBeing a student at the Art Academy of Latvia, I connect my interests and studies with the space, ideas and design interface: focusing both on its historical development and the theory and methodology of creating shape and processing and absorbing information from other art practises. Moreover, tracing the development beginning from the traditional art up to its interaction with the contemporary art. Continuous learning and development is one of my major goals in life. I am motivated by the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and skills, as well as to continue developing. I am fascinated by new challenges and work in a dynamic environment.

COURSES, SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS::
2012I participated in a number of European projects, one of which was in Turkey, where I took part in an Anatolian traditional art workshop, reasearching and developing practical Turkish traditional art. The project was rounded up by an exhibition that I took part in "Elegant Anatolian Art: Turkish Lace Works", which took place at the National Education Directorate premises in Can, Çanakkale in Turkey. In 2012 I participated in the Baltic Training program, with weekly seminars and theoretical training in Narva. From where I moved to Stockholm to work at Susanne Henriques textile workshop for a couple of weeks. The main objective of the project was to develop a business plan for a small venture. I'm creating business plan for a company focused on sound absorbing/muffling textile design and manufacture, aimed at the international market. The business project was developed and presented at Baltic Training programs for Latvian, Estonian, Swedish committee members, for which I received an approval diploma.
In September 2013 I participated in painting symposium at the Cultures of Cosmos Patra in Greece. In September – October I took part in digital weaving workshop Focus: Fabric, that took place at the Bergen Academy of Art and Design in Norway.
SYMPOSIUMS AND ACADEMIC CONFERENCES::
2012 In June and July I attended the International Textile Symposium 'Baltic', where I took part in an exhibition "Baltic Bodies and Textiles" a Nida Art Residency, in Lithuania. I learned traditional felting techniques, which inspired the creation of "Stone drops" for the symposium exhibition. My felted stones hung freely and swayed in the wind.
MEMBERSHIPS & ASSOCIATIONS:
In past years, I have started a successful cooperation with the non-conformist art museum, art center "Пушкинская, 10" in St. Petersburg. Between 2006 – 2014 I participated in eight international miniature festivals.
