Phalaenopsis №2 Painting

I was born in 1979 in the Siberian city of Tulun in a family of artists. My conscious childhood was spent in the city of Sayansk. I used to go to my parents ' Studio and paint while they were working. My drawings were exhibited in the Sayan Art Gallery. I graduated from art school in Sayansk, and when I was 15 I went to Irkutsk to study at the Irkutsk Art College.After graduating from College, I came to St. Petersburg, where I studied at the Department of Graphics of the northwestern Institute of Printing. By the time I graduated from the Institute, I was already expecting my second child, and my artistic development took a big pause. I have dedicated the last 15 years to motherhood. But all the time I knew it was just a pause. I see the world through the eyes of an artist and understand that the continuation of this path is inevitable. Now I am 40 years old, I have three grown-up children, a desire to create accumulated over the years. My style has yet to be defined. I try everything from realism to abstraction. The main thing is that the picture has a feeling, expressiveness. It is important that the feeling is good, that the picture has a positive energy.
