My name is Valeria Lakrisenko. I am a professional painter and have been painting for more than 10 years. I graduated from Saint-Petersburg Academy of Arts, Department of Paintings, V. Pesikov's workshop and B. Ioganson St. Petersburg State Academy Art Lyceum. I was raised by a strong classical art school, and my education gave me indispensable experience and diverse set of skills, including solid drawing technique and anatomy knowledge.
