I'm a San Francisco-based Ukrainian artist. My paintings, which span from representational landscapes, impressionistic still lifes, and portraits to abstract explorations, are primarily done with acrylic paints. I like being open-minded to various styles and subjects and don't bind myself to specific boundaries. When I present my vision, I use vibrant, rich colors and expressive brushwork.

Nature is the greatest artist and the main source of inspiration to me. My Eastern European heritage influences my artwork as well. I’ve been fascinated by floral themes since I was a little child watching my mom paint in the traditional Ukrainian technique – Petrykivka.
As an artist and a vegan, I aim to spread the love for Mother Earth with others, raise awareness of her vulnerability, and inspire in people compassion for all living beings.
