Artist Statement When I was a child I like painting most of all.
There was so many mystery in mixture of colours, in smell of new pencils, in dance of brushes on a white paper. I liked to view albums with reproductions of famous artists paintings and dreamed to be an artist when grow up.
But the way to my dream was not so easy. I got diploma in mathematics in Lviv University, my second diploma was in marketing in Kiev. And only after the birth of her daughter I decided that my passion must be a matter of my life.
I started to paint on the glass, it was miniatures that I've presented to my friends. Then I was fascinated by watercolors and started to take classes of excellent teacher in classic drawing, academic painting, graphics and design.
Now I am a freelance illustrator and artist. Mostly I prefer to illustrate books for children and to paint canvases.
I love to paint!
