Ever since I could hold a crayon, art has been my passion. Sure, I dabbled in music school, but I quickly discovered that painting was far more fun than plunking out "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" on the piano.
I honed my craft and earned an art teaching degree in Ukraine before moving to Australia in 2002, where I continued to chase my artistic dreams. Finding local galleries to exhibit my work became my mission, and I soon found myself participating in art prizes and teaching art in my home studio and at the same school my two children attended.
Art is more than a passion, it's a lifelong journey of learning and growth. I've had the pleasure of helping others discover the joy of art, and it has opened doors for me to work both locally on the Gold Coast and around the world.
My journey is a testament to the power of creativity and its ability to bring joy to our lives.
Currently I'm exhibiting with a few other amazing artists at the Chevron Renaissance Art gallery in Surfers Paradise and Royal Queensland Art Society in Broadbeach.
