“We are not people, sometimes experiencing, but spiritual beings, experiencing the experience of human being.” (Pierre Teilhard de Chardin)

She received her first lessons in her grandfather’s workshop. From childhood I was surrounded by creativity, where my vision and perception of the world as an artist was formed. I received a special charge from the work of my grandfather, I felt every work that he created. Together with my grandfather, I drew, gaining experience and was saturated with an environment of creativity. It was he who gave me the power of creative inspiration, skills and a love of art, to which I returned at the age of 30.

She lived in the Far East for twenty years. She traveled a lot and spent time in the Ussuri taiga, on the shores of the Sea of Japan.
Impressions of the rich and virgin nature of the Far East, Lake Baikal, Altai, Mongolia, Adygea and Crimea are reflected in my work, which is characterized by intense colors and color expression. The motivation of my works is to leave an impression of the incredible beauty of the nature of these places on canvas.

In my life there has always been a place for creativity, this is photography, amateur films and of course painting. Over time, I came to the realization that I just can’t help but paint, and in recent years I have completely devoted myself to this creative process. This is for me the best way of self-realization and the opportunity to connect my inner world with the outside.
With my works I want to prompt the viewer to think, to feel and see the versatility of the universe, and to feel the invisible. Plunge into the emotional environment of the unique moments of our lives.

For me, creativity is a state of inspiration, full of feelings that continue to live on my canvases.

In 2018, she returned to the west, now I live and work in St. Petersburg.
In the spring of 2019, she took part in the Visionary Art International Exhibition at the Moscow House of Artists.
In December - "Talent of Russia" in the Moscow Gostiny Dvor.
At the international exhibition “Russian Art Week in Moscow” in the “Great Copy” nomination, my works took 1st and 2nd place.
My works are in private collections in Russia, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine.
