PLEASE NOTE I'M NO LONGER ACTIVE ON DEVIANT ART. IF YOU WANT TO REACH ME PLEASE USE MY INSTAGRAM OR FACEBOOK.
Welcome to my gallery! I’m a self-taught traditional artist specializing in romantic portraiture. I’ve been drawing and painting my entire life, professionally since 2000. Originally from Ukraine, I lived in New York City for nearly 26 years, and relocated to sunny Florida in the summer of 2020.
I spent many years exhibiting and selling prints of my work at themed conventions all over the U.S. I’ve also worked on book covers, concept art for RPGs, and commissions for private collections. I've exhibited at various galleries throughout the U.S., such as Salmagundi Club and Gristle Gallery in NYC, and La Bodega Gallery in San Diego, CA. My art has won several awards and has been featured in many publications. My last art book, “Warriors And Dreamers” came out in 2015. Currently I’m focusing more on personal work, expanding my Etsy store, and working to exhibit at more galleries.
My art is a product of decades of observation, experimentation, and study of people, environments, and the works of great artists, especially from the Renaissance, Rococo, and Pre-Raphaelite eras. I’m inspired by nature, mythology, history, and various cultural elements, especially those from Asia. I love working with watercolors and graphite, but have used many other mediums, such as oils, colored pencils, acrylics, ink, and digital media.
I live in a charming small town outside Orlando with my husband, our two teenage sons, and two feline sidekick. Aside from art I love videogames, music, reading, writing, and horseback riding.
Magnificent gallery and personal site. Glad to discover your artwork.
Regards and good continuation
Thank you so much!
