Mirjam, where are you from and where do you live now?

I am from Estonia, but for the last years (and the coming ones also) I have been living in Porto, Portugal.
How would you describe your artistic style?

My artistic style is flowing, with no strict shapes or ideas. A little bit quirky, but pleasant to the eye and mind.
What's on top of your bucket list (as an artist or just as a person)?

Till recently, it was to be able to make a living as a freelance artist and now that this is accomplished, it's to raise a daughter AND be able to make a living as a freelance artist ;)
Vector or watercolor

Watercolour!! Have given vector a chance many times, but it has not convinced me still.
New York or remote mountain hut?

Mountain hut! I love peace and quiet.
Becks or Merlot?

Merlot and other members of the wine family :)
And a little Proust: What is your idea of perfect happiness?

... that it does not exist? People always have something to complain about and the ones who say that they don't are probably not telling the truth.
Which living person do you most admire?

That would definitely be my daughter.
What do you consider the most overrated virtue?

(huh, cannot think of one at the moment.)
What or who is the greatest love of your life?

My boyfriend, daughter, two cats and good food.
If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?

Seeing how comfortable and relaxed the life of my cats is, I would love to try it out also.
The world needs more...

balance.
I’ve changed my mind about…

most things, constantly.
What most people don't understand is that…

every small action counts.
