Growing Gold Painting

Russtina is a self-taught artist, born in Long Beach California but spent a lot of her teenage years growing up in central Florida. She loves the peace, beauty, and tranquility of the ocean and it is often seen in the work she creates. Russtina believes the ocean has a way of erasing the stresses in life and it brings positive energy to the soul. She now live in central Arkansas with her husband and two chihuahuas. Russtina's true love and focus are in contemporary and modern abstracts. She uses color to reflect thoughts and the abstract itself to curb emotions. Most of her paintings are inspired by life and the world around her at that very moment. Russtina loves to travel with her family and find inspirations from the places and the people that they visit.
