I began on this Earth in 1975 in the country of Ukraine. From a young age I had always loved art and felt the need to pursue that passion post grade school and into college. Initially I began in fashion design but later transferred into graphic design, then furthering my degree in fine art. Life was mostly typical until the outbreak of the war which caused me to flee my country for my own safety. After many miles and countries lived my journey brought me to America and furthermore to Vero Beach. Now I am married to my wonderful husband, who is also an artist, and he and I have begun a new and exciting chapter of life. I feel very grateful and happy that after all I’ve been through I can keep continuing on my artistic path.
