I was born into a creative family that certainly influences the curiosity and development of my subsequent activities.

In 1995, I graduated from the N.P. Shlein Art School (Kostroma, Russia). 

During my studies, my work "Cat in the Night Window" participated in international exhibitions, in England and Finland, acquired by a collector.

In 1997, I passed the creative competition to study "Technology of artistic processing of materials, jewelry" at the Kostroma State Technological University. At the same time, I worked as an illustrator for a local newspaper.

Soon after, I began working as a journalist and received a Master's degree in "Socio-cultural service and tourism”. Before moving to Finland, I also held administrative positions related to culture and mass media.

In Finland, I completed the refresher courses "Image, Music and Digital Technologies for Teachers, European Art Education" (2011) and "Image in New Media and Environmental Art, School in Europe - Europe at School" (2012) at Sibelius Academy.

In 2020, I took a painting course at Snellman Higher School (Finland).

I have been trained in audiovisual, theater, pedagogy and translation and have worked as an actress, interpreter, and children's club instructor. I have represented Finland in the finals of international art competitions.

My inspirations were and always remain Marc Chagall, Wassily Kandinsky from the early period, Van Gogh from the Parisian period, Pekka Halonen, the African cycle of Akseli Gallen-Kallella, my University teacher, graphic designer Vladimir Lyamin. Finally, the modern and well-known artist and master of engraving, Alexander Mariev.

The components of my works are walking, air movement and the smells of the environment. An attempt to explore the inner world of nature and character and three pure pigments on a natural basis of watercolor accompanied by texts of narrative and spiritual literature and to convey my interpretation through improvisation.
