Artwork Description

This painting shows a fox emerging from a tapestry of wildflowers, its gaze calm, alert, and quietly wise. Loose, expressive lines and flowing brushstrokes allow fur and petals to intertwine, blurring the boundary between animal and nature. Vibrant blues, soft pinks, warm ochres, and charcoal shadows create a dreamy contrast, suggesting both gentleness and strength.
The inspiration comes from the idea of quiet guardianship — the fox as a symbol of intuition, adaptability, and silent observation. It reflects moments of stillness in nature, where beauty and alertness coexist, and where the wild feels both protective and poetic.

Artist Bio

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.
