About the Artist

Hi, my name is Linda and I am the person and creative mind behind the @doodella.art brand. I am a freelance graphic designer, digital artist & small business owner from a small country called Latvia. Alongside being a graphic designer I run a stationery shop where I sell stickers, bookmarks, greeting cards, keychains, and other handmade items featuring my illustrations that are created in my small home studio.

MY ART JOURNEY

Art has always been a part of my life since early childhood starting with silly doodles to taking part in different art contests to studying traditional art more seriously. I have had a long history in traditional art, mostly academic and very technical drawing, watercolor painting, and acrylic painting starting from kids' art school, art, then design collage where I got an interior designer diploma, to university where I became a graphic designer.

I found my passion in digital art after graduating from university around August of 2020. Digital art was something that I had been looking for all my life without knowing about it, I never had a chance to try drawing on a tablet or any device because these tools were not available to me at the time. I got my iPad in 2019 and it took me about a year to finally be brave enough to start learning how to illustrate digitally. It all seemed overwhelming so that's why it took me that long.. Slowly but with a lot of daily practice, I found myself liking the process of learning the tools and I fell in love with digital art. Drawing cute and whimsical characters has been the main focus of my art, I have also started to illustrate portraits where before I was hesitant to do it. Being a digital artist has opened many doors to new opportunities, and amazing communities and has allowed me to find like-minded people.
