About
She holds an MA from Chelsea College of Arts (University of the Arts London) and a BA from the Vilnius Academy of Arts. Her work has been exhibited widely in Lithuania and internationally, including Vanish / Survive at Arka Gallery, where her miniature tapestry received the Golden Needle Award and was later included in Lithuania’s Golden Fund Collection. Her documentary film Mother and Daughter also received recognition for raising awareness about domestic violence.
Following a period of creative withdrawal from the public art scene, Jonynaite’s practice now re-emerges with renewed focus on the relationship between private narrative and shared experience. Through drawing, participatory performance, installation, and design research, she examines how tenderness, endurance, and the everyday act of making can form a quiet resistance to emotional detachment. Her drawings, often treated as a near-journal practice, trace the subtle rhythms of emotional life—acts of reflection that bridge the personal and the collective.
