I love travelling, creating art projects, I educate people to paint with oil paintings.

If you want to know more about me ;)
I 've been dreaming being a writer from my childhood... When I was 12 years old, I started writing my first novel. For sure it was about love... I was also fond of painting since I was 5 years old . Once I painted the flowers, but I decided that the picture wasn't completed, something was missing... and I found one missing element- it was a smell! So I took my mother's french perfume andsprayed it all over the painting... It was my first experiment of creating art in unusual way, so that you could perceive it with all kinds of feelings.
I graduated from University of Design in 2002 and became a fashion designer. It was fun. I created garments for famous singers and actors, later even for football club Dynamo Kyiv in Ukraine. But I realised, that I wanted to be more free, more creative and that's why I decided to become an artist. I wanted to express feelings in different colors and shapes through oil paints on canvas. I liked especially painting in open air, when your feelings are extreme. I had 3 personal exhibitions in Ukraine, organized a charity project and an auction “Beauty against cancer”, where my painting became the most expensive lot and was sold for 3000 euro. We raised about 10000 euro and granted it for Children’s Hospital OKHMATDYT.
Another one of my social art projects I started in 2012 in Ukraine. I painted Trypthich “Relay” with Andrey Shevchenko and it was a great success. I decided to create a social project, so that young people could understand, that art can be modern, interesting and keep pace with sport. So I interviewed some famous footballers of DYNAMO football club and painted them considering their characters. And I made an unusual exhibition: paintings were performed to players just before they started football game to encourage them - and that day they really won!
My last art exhibition was presented by the famous ukrainian gallery Spivakovska Art:Ego Center in 2015. I wished that the spectators would feel everything deeply:were looking at the paintings, while listening to music, reading my poems, which were placed under each painting, so that they could understand the meaning, while the multicolored butterflies were flying everywhere, like little dreams came true.
I 've been interested in travelling all my life because for me it's like the beginning of a little new life: new country, new beautiful places, you meet new interesting people, maybe someone, who has became your love partner for the whole life... And each time in every new trip, I was writing a new story about my adventures and posted some of them on Facebook. Then friends became interested in these stories and followed them waiting for continue.... So I wrote in my wish list, that I wanted to become a writer, because its one of my biggest dreams ... I wrote in my wish list, that I want to become a writer, because its one of my biggest dreams ... I believe that if you want something very much, it comes to you and one miraculous day, I met my love and life partner Allan Stark. You could imagine how I was surprised when he told that he is the writer and also painter like me! He inspired me and encouraged to make my dreams become true. In my new novel you will know in details how it happened... Thats why I decided to publish my poems, to finish my novels and to start writing real romance. I plan to do illustrations to them by my own.
I hope, soon you will be able to read something interesting, i brought to live, in your imagination...
