Growing up I remember spending a lot of time visiting my parent’s weekend home on top of the hill very close to the woods, where my father used to go mushroom picking every autumn. My brother and me would ride our bikes on dirt roads to the forest and than go exploring. Imagination and fantasy in our minds would bring out creations and creatures in different interesting forms showing up on tree trunks and branches. We would listen to sounds of the forest and bird’s singing. This still fascinates me sometimes. We would climb trees and think of how much fun it would be to build a tree house. I can say it’s still on my bucket list. However here’s the painting that came out of all this pondering ☺

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.
