Tentacles of wonder

Dive into a burst of underwater magic with Tentacles of wonder, a vibrant celebration of curiosity and colour beneath the sea.

This charismatic octopus takes centre stage as it swirls through its coral playground, surrounded by glowing reefs, drifting fish, and shimmering blues that hint at hidden ocean stories.

Inspired by the playful personalities of marine life, this piece blends imagination with nature’s drama, each twisting arm and dotted tentacle painted to feel alive, expressive, and joyfully unpredictable.

The reef comes to life in radiant yellows, purples, pinks, and greens, creating a lively world where every corner hums with movement.

Tentacles of Wonder invites you to get lost in the dance of the deep sea, to feel the charm of its mischievous hero, and to experience the ocean as a place of wonder, whimsy, and endless exploration.

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.
