A course by Inga Buividavice
Inga Buividavice is a Lithuanian graphic designer and watercolor artist based in Liverpool, England. Whilst studying for a master’s in graphic design at the Vilnius Academy of Fine Arts, she spent a semester in Paris at L’École Estienne where she discovered a passion for mixed media. She later explored her love of watercolors specifically while on maternity leave, taking part in a daily painting challenge on Instagram and documenting her journey.
Inga’s work quickly attracted attention and commissions thanks to her signature style that is designed to capture an emotional connection with the natural world. She now shares her designs with over 100K followers and sells them on Etsy in the form of phone cases, postcards, and prints, alongside her job as a full-time graphic designer.
