INTERIOR DESIGNER / VISUAL ARTIST
Hello there! My name is Greta Usaite, I am an interior designer and visual artist based in Co.Louth, Ireland. I create visually peaceful and harmonious compositions in ink and hope that the meditative process that takes place to create these pieces translates and inspires you to slow down as well. The world can be a very chaotic place externally and internally...Therefore, I aim to bring serenity and ease through artwork and interiors. My current series of paintings have been inspired by Irish landscape, specifically drawing inspiration from West of Ireland.
My photography journey began less than a year ago during my 6 month trip around South-East Asia. I purchased a second hand camera and began capturing moments I never thought I could. My photography is mostly shot in black and white, which in my opinion has a tendency to add sophistication and style to any space. A series of my photographs were recently shortlisted and received an Honorable Mention award by IPA 2023 (International Photography Awards 2023).
