A Family of Talent

Jurgita and Her Two Creative Daughters

Behind every masterpiece is an artist—one whose hands create beauty, whose mind envisions beyond the surface, and whose heart breathes life into their work. For Jurgita Januseviciene, artistry has never been just about aesthetics; it's been her way of transforming lives. As a permanent makeup artist, she has spent nearly a decade restoring confidence, redefining beauty, and giving people a renewed sense of self through her incredible work with eyebrows. Her gift extends beyond technical skill—it’s a calling. And that calling has echoed through generations, inspiring her daughters, Ieva and Olivija, to pursue their own artistic dreams in music and visual art.

For individuals facing cancer treatments or living with alopecia, losing their eyebrows can be devastating. Jurgita’s meticulous strokes do more than restore symmetry; they bring back a sense of wholeness. Each transformation is deeply personal. The moment a client looks in the mirror—truly seeing themselves—there are often tears, embraces, and overwhelming gratitude. “It’s a responsibility I take very seriously,” Jurgita shares. “Every stroke is made with precision. When they recognize themselves again, that moment is indescribable.”

It’s because of this particular perfected skillset that she’s chosen to transition from her own studio, to teaching likeminded artists how to perfect their craft so they can also contribute to lifechanging moments with their clientele. This is truly a way to leave a legacy for the masses.

Jurgita’s journey began in Vilnius, Lithuania, where creativity was a way of life. Three years ago, her family relocated to Texas after her husband’s job transfer, embracing the unknown in uncharted territory. But even in transition, artistry remained their anchor. Jurgita’s passion wasn’t just a career—it was a legacy, one that her daughters, Ieva and Olivija, naturally embraced.

For Ieva, music was more than an outlet—it was an instinct. As a child, she sang before she could fully speak, and by ten, she was writing songs that gave voice to her deepest thoughts. “Songwriting became my therapy,” she says. “It allowed me to turn my emotions into something others could connect with.”

Now 22, Ieva is an indie-pop artist performing in Dallas, blending her Lithuanian roots with modern influences. “Music is about connection,” she explains. “Once a song is released, it belongs to everyone who finds a piece of themselves in it.” Her music reflects her resilience and the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire her.

For 12-year-old Olivija, expression took form in watercolor. What began as childhood sketches evolved into intricate paintings—landscapes, surreal cityscapes, and portraits alive with emotion. “I was fascinated by how one thing could transform into another with just a shift in perspective,” she shares. Inspired by Lithuanian artist Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, she experiments with light and texture, creating compositions rich in depth and meaning.

At the core of it all is Jurgita—the artist who doesn’t just sculpt brows, but transforms lives and inspires younger generations to embrace their own creativity. Watching her daughters flourish, she sees echoes of her own journey in the ways they develop their craft. Whether through music, painting, or the intricate art of permanent makeup, their family’s story is woven together by a shared passion for beauty in all its forms. 

Jurgita’s creativity has always been about more than technique—it’s about confidence restored, stories told, and renewal found in those who once saw only imperfection. Now, as she’s witnessed the talent unfolding within her own family, she’s realized that her greatest masterpiece is not the brows she’s meticulously shaped or the transformations she’s created in her studio. It’s the legacy she’s continuing to build, the passion she’s instilled, and the unwavering belief that beauty—true, profound beauty—is not just something to be seen, but something to be felt, lived, and passed on.

Through every note played, every stroke painted, and every life touched, the Janusevicius family proves that artistry is not just talent. It’s resilience. It’s love. And it’s the mark of those brave enough to create, to dream, and to leave the world more vibrant than they found it.
