Hello beautiful Steemit community, my name is Ilze. I exist to Beautify. To Create. To Love. To Inspire. To Expand. To experience the Magic of this Life. All of it. 
Why are you here for? Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny - he or she has something to fulfill, some message that has to be delivered. You are not here accidentally. There is a deep purpose behind your existence. The universe intends to do something through you. Our job is to learn to go within and listen. 
I am an artist. I been expressing myself through different creative forms through the years but painting has always remained. Ever since childhood I was totally fascinated with colour and brushstrokes. Painting has always been one of the ways that puts me in a meditative state, connected with Source, with the Universe. It's a process of surrendering, letting the energy flow through my hands. I am a vehicle to deliver the message. 
Another thing that has been lifechanging for me is Yoga. It has transformed me into a better human being on so many levels. When we move the energy through our body through this ancient practice we clear so much of what we have stored in our body emotionally. 
Yoga has tought me more balance in life, to always trust my power, to go within my body, my breath and find endless peace within no matter of the outside circumstances. 
I don't identify with one country as I feel myself as part of the vast universe ;) But if you would like to know my background, I was born in Latvia, moved to Australia at age 16 all on my own, I lived there for 10 years and then I moved to Hawaii for a while, the last year I been living in Bali mostly. I got a free wild spirit and a gypsy soul and can't imagine it any other way. This photo is taken recently on a beautiful beach in Bali. As you can tell I love being infront of camera, it's one of my passions. I fully embrace my feminine qualities. I love to express my charisma, my energy, confidence and magnetism through the photos. Being infront of camera is my creative expression. I become an Art itself instead of creating Art. 
You will be seeing more of my creative expressions in different forms in very near future. I am looking foward to get to know you! Have a magical day. Feel free to connect with me on Instagram and FB too. Bye for now xox
