"I remember a huge book my grandfather gave to me.It was a collection of famous paintings from museums around the world. It was so heavy I could rather carry but it was my favorite book when I was a little kid. I even remember some pictures I was trying to draw from that book. I was dreaming that someday my drawings will be in one of the museums and people will come from all over the world to see my exhibition.
My love for art grew along with me. I painted everywhere: at home, at school, and wanted to go to Art University. I even bought a beret from my savings to look like an artist. My parents didn't really like my skills and passion to be an artist and they decided to send me to dance school so I could stop drawing. I stopped painting and of course, I forgot about my dreams.
In 2014 I moved to Los Angeles, California, a City of never-endless summer and booming flowers. One day I went to an art shop and I spent there 2 hours just looking around. I have never seen so many media and tools. Of course, I bought canvas and paint. Since that day I've changed and become that girl who was dreaming to be an artist"
