In Becoming, Mother Nature takes the form of a nurturing tree, her face gently leaning downward, with flowing branches growing from her hair and strong roots to the earth.

Vines, flowers, and vibrant greenery bloom all around her, creating a rich, life filled sanctuary.

Beneath her gentle gaze sits a small boy in a quiet, contemplative pose as a butterfly, there’s also a caterpillar nearby to show the symbols of transformation.

A cocoon dangles delicately from one of her vines, showing the moment between endings and new beginnings.

Drops of soft light glow amidst the flora, adding a magical, otherworldly quality to the scene.

Every detail speaks to the beauty of growth, the quiet power of change, and the interconnectedness between nature and human experience.

A vivid and symbolic piece celebrating rebirth, reflection, and the eternal process of becoming.

From an early age, I was drawn to creative expression, discovering my passion for art as soon as I could hold a crayon.
I pursued this passion academically, earning a degree in Art Education in Ukraine, which laid the foundation for my artistic and teaching career.
After relocating to Australia in 2002, I continued to develop my practice and actively sought opportunities to exhibit my work.
I have since participated in various art prizes and exhibited in local galleries, while also sharing my knowledge through teaching, both in my home studio and within the school community attended by my children.
For me, art is more than a passion; it is a lifelong journey of exploration, growth, and connection. Through both my creative practice and teaching, I aim to inspire others to experience the joy and transformative power of art. My work has allowed me to engage with audiences locally on the Gold Coast and internationally, reinforcing my belief in creativity as a universal language that enriches lives.
