Ilvija is very responsive and sincere, and knows how to find the right approach to both children and adults. I have been encouraged to look at painting as a playground where I can dare to experiment in order to discover my best performance. I really enjoy working with Ilvija, because I not only receive professional training and advice, but also enjoy the warmth and positive atmosphere that prevails during the summer plein air sessions. This year, I graduated from the 9th grade of the Janis Rozentals Art School. Five years ago, when I dared to enroll in this school, it was Ilvija who helped me prepare for the entrance exams and supported me.
Thank you very much for your motivation, advice, training, and positive outlook on life.

When you meet Ilvija, you won't want to look for another teacher. Ilvija will explain and teach you, repeating if necessary. She will also be able to convince you to continue at home. "Mākslas Pietura" is a haven of peace for me and a place where I can be in harmony with colors and myself.

I definitely recommend trying it even if you have no prior drawing experience. It's a very relaxing activity, forget about everyday life and create something unique, count. Individual approach to everyone and no rush! Thanks again for an unforgettable event!

Wonderful and caring teacher! Very open minded and professional in her work. I am very happy to join her art classes!
