Lily, bud and wilted flower, pencil drawing Drawing

A professional artist, designer and architect passionate about creating beauty. Whether it being a design or a painting, I want it to bring joy and loveliness into other people's spaces. Privately, a mother of three, nature lover and a lifelong learner of new art technques. Working with my hands to create art is what I love and do best. I was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, in 1979. I entered an Art School at the age of 12, where I studied visual art for 4 years, and then I took a 2-years training course at the Kyiv Art Academy. In 2005, I graduated from the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture. Since 2015 I permanently live in Poland, Silesia region. In 2019, after a 23-years break, I got a chance to fully dedicate myself to painting and drawing. I took several online watercolor courses, and I keep learning and improving my skills. During these two years I created more than 100 artworks and sketches. I actively participate in watercolorist contests to better understand my potential. My favorite subjects are portrait, botanical illustration, smaller details of the world around (fragments, still life), landscape. I mainly work with watercolors, pastel or a pencil.
