ABOUT ME

Hey! I’m Lozhka (means “spoon” in Ukrainian), my first name is Mary. I’m a writer focused on fiction and advertising. I also worked as a teacher of arts for school children and an exhibition guide in a contemporary art gallery.

For years I've been involved in volunteering (art festivals, non-profit theatres, work in orphan houses, animal shelters, and even yacht regatta).

In polyamoric relationship. Believe in love in many forms and collecting stories to turn them into art.

3 things I love: literature, open-minded people, and long voyages. I’m glad to help couchserfers in Kyiv.
