Renata Kopac
Who are you and what do you do?
I am a Lithuania-born artist and an art teacher. I have my own studio where I
work on my paintings and I also teach art both privately and at primary school.
I try to incorporate my passion for teaching and painting . My busy career and
life do not stop me from developing as an artist.

Why did you join One Million
Project and what inspires you to
do so?
Jason Greenfield and I met at the creative networking event organised by the Lithuanian Embassy a few years ago in London. Jason was interested in collaborating with some foreign/
European writers and artists. One Million Project
inspired me and we started working together,
some time later resulted in the finished book.

Why do you do what you do?
Painting is my passion. I paint for many reasons, because it is a way I can connect with
myself and express my feelings. I believe
that it’s a life skill worth developing and, like
everything, it requires endless practice.
