Thank you for your interest in my art.

I have been painting and drawing for as long as I remember. I engaged in artmaking throughout school and also completed a number of shorter courses while completing undergraduate and postgraduate study. I have been working in academic, human services and research roles since, but was always sketching on holidays.

I reengaged with my creative side in full when asked by a friend to complete a bespoke commission in 2020. I have not stopped since.

I had my first solo show “Far Horizons, Jewel Seas” at Gallery Lane Cove on 19-30 January 2021, and since then participated in a range of group exhibitions.

Water and landscape have been a constant source of creative energy. Having moved to Sydney from Ukraine with my family as an adolescent, I have been drawn to the light, energy, colours and textures of the Australian landscape. Some of my art is an attempt to capture the sensation of immersion in nature, whether it be the power of the wave or the serenity of the Australian outback landscape. Recently I have been more focused on the challenges of depicting heritage architecture. I paint in acrylic and watercolour, and recently started printmaking.

I am an active member of the Drummoyne Art Society, one of the oldest art societies in Sydney. I serve on the committee in a number of roles and pride myself on being a part of this amazing local art collective.

Some of my smaller locally inspired work and homewares are sold in the Hummingbird Sweet Things store in Wareemba, Sydney. My work is available through the Bluethumb art website, and I also sell my homewares and small artworks at a range of markets throughout the year - check the News page to see what’s coming up.

I welcome commissions, please enquire via the Contact page on my website.
