About

"The world of Signe's paintings with creatures, objects and other images is well known to the observer of Latvian art. The star counter watches as intoxicating tones flourish in the canvas sky, apples, scatter cherries over the entire surface of the table, hide a pair of pears in a corner of the canvas and place the willow branches on the ground. Everything crafted then begins to flow over the edges of the canvas and also paints the frame of the sky." — Painter, graphic artist, set designer, head of the American Latvian Artists Association (ALMA) Linda Treija
