“I grew up in Ukraine, where I received a classical art education. My earliest memory is drawing in kindergarten, when my mother showed me how to form simple shapes with pencil. That moment sparked a lasting curiosity for drawing, and from then on I wanted to improve with every new drawing and painting.
“Earning my master’s degree in city planning, I began my professional career; architecture became an applied form of my desire to create art. After more than a decade in that field, I returned my focus to fine art, first by teaching children at a private art school in Dnipro.
“I moved to the United States and began working as a full-time artist, continuing to develop my skills through workshops with internationally recognized artists at a local private art atelier. I am a Signature Member of the Portrait Society of America and an award-winning member of Oil Painters of America.
“Although I have explored a variety of mediums and subjects, portraiture has remained my central passion. This portrait is inspired by my niece Laura, whom I have been painting for more than a decade, observing her growth and changing character from one portrait to another.”
