Who am I?

I am Liis-Beth Gehrke and I graduated from the 12th grade of Pelgulinna Riigigümnaasium in spring 2026.

I am hard-working, creative and energetic. Ever since kindergarten I have experimented with animation and different art media, which has helped me develop both creative thinking and problem-solving skills. I can work independently and handle different challenges efficiently.

In my free time I do art, music, basketball and sewing.

Skills: Procreate and Procreate Dreams, animatic and storyboard, acrylic painting, charcoal drawing, ink pen and watercolour, collage.
